Al Gore
The Bush-Cheney administration had betrayed some basic American values. So there was hunger for change.
Al Gore
Because these consequences are distributed globally, the problem masquerades as a distraction. Because the length of time between causes and consequences stretches out longer than we're used to dealing with, it gives us the illusion that we have the luxury of time. Neither of those things is true.
Al Gore
A zebra can not change it's spots.
Al Gore
You can say the Earth is flat, but it doesn't mean you're going to fall off the edge.
Al Gore
I wrote newspaper articles professionally for seven years, and I love newspapers.
Al Gore
Although I have a variety of obligations, the climate crisis is my central concern.
Al Gore
There are some bright spots, to be sure, but the internet is still in a Wild West phase, as was the case during the early age of the printing press as well.
Al Gore

Al Gore
The signs that the world is spinning out of kilter are increasingly difficult to misinterpret. The question is how to convince enough people to join a critical mass of urgent opinion, in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
Al Gore
