We can't negotiate the facts. We can't negotiate the truth about the situation. And for those who are too fearful to finish, it can be done and must be done. Make sure we succeed, . . . It is wrong for this generation to destroy the habitability of our planet and ruin the prospects of every future generation.
Al Gore
Image
We have to abandon the conceit that isolated personal actions are going to solve this crisis. Our policies have to shift.
Al Gore
Image
The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk. And even more — if more should be required — the future of human civilization is at stake.

I was in elective politics for 24 years. I've made four national races, two for president, two for vice president. I have found there are other ways to serve, and I'm enjoying them.
Al Gore

I think that asserting that former President Obama wasn't born in the United States was just the height of irresponsibility, of course. And Donald Trump corrected that one. There are others that have yet to be corrected.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat.

In a time of darkness, you don't curse the darkness, you light a candle.

I think I may have a future as a disembodied head.

The global warming deniers persist in this air of unreality. After all, the entire north polar icecap, which has been there for most of the last 3 million years, is disappearing before our eyes. Forty percent is already gone. The rest is expected to go completely within the next decade. What do they think is causing this?

Remember America, I gave you the Internet and I can take it away.

The answer is to end our reliance on carbon-based fuels... If we succeed, we create booming new industries, wealth, clean secure energy and maybe we prevent the greatest disaster so far in human history, saving millions of lives while improving billions more. If we fail, basically it's business as usual while things slowly get worse all around us.

As many of you know, I was very instrumental in the founding of the Internet
Al Gore

The Founders of the U.S. gave the senators a term of office three times longer than that of a representative precisely to encourage a reflective frame of mind, a distance from the passions of the voters, and a capacity for deliberative consideration.

The moral imperative to make big changes is inescapable...that what we take for granted may not be here for our children
Al Gore

Distributed intelligence is the key to the advancement of human civilization. Dictatorships, communist countries, monarchies in the past all eventually collapsed because of their inefficiency in moving information.
Al Gore
Image
If we did not take action to solve this crisis, it could indeed threaten the future of human civilization. That sounds shrill. It sounds hard to accept. I believe it's deadly accurate. But again, we can solve it.
Al Gore

I will tell you that what gives me a sense of joy is having work to do that justifies pouring every ounce of energy I have into it. That's really a blessing to have in your life. And it gives you energy back when you have the privilege of doing work that makes you feel that way.
Al Gore

I don't really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.
Al Gore

Clouds of a different sort signal an environmental holocaust without precedent. Once again, world leaders waffle, hoping the danger will dissipate. Yet today the evidence is as clear as the sounds of glass shattering in Berlin.
Al Gore

The truth about the climate crisis is still inconvenient for the large carbon polluters and the politicians who are in their pockets.
