More quotes by Al Gore

Al Gore
When energy prices go up, the difficulty of projecting demand also goes up - uncertainty goes up.
Al Gore

The role of campaign contributions in our political system and the role of lobbyists have now reached levels that are quite unhealthy for the operations of our democracy.

Al Gore
We have to abandon the conceit that isolated personal actions are going to solve this crisis. Our policies have to shift.
Al Gore
Once the renewable infrastructure is built, the fuel is free forever. Unlike carbon-based fuels, the wind and the sun and the earth itself provide fuel that is free, in amounts that are effectively limitless.
Al Gore

Al Gore

Al Gore
The center of the earth is about a million degrees.
Al Gore

Al Gore
Now we have things that are obviously false, leading us to war, leading us to deny people health care, leading us to ignore the climate crisis. We have to restore the integrity of the democratic conversation.
Al Gore
I'm asking you in your sermons to do the work of the Lord here on earth. I ask for your help in getting that message out urgently tomorrow.
Al Gore
The symbolism - and the substantive significance - of planting a tree has universal power in every culture and every society on Earth, and it is a way for individual men, women and children to participate in creating solutions for the environmental crisis.
Al Gore
Fifteen per cent of the population believe the moon landing was actually staged in a movie lot in Arizona and somewhat fewer still believe the Earth is flat. I think they all get together with the global warming deniers on a Saturday night and party
Al Gore
We're operating this planet like a business in liquidation.
