More quotes by 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
[T]he scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes. What is important is that the overwhelming consensus on global warming remains unchanged.
Al Gore
Our new technologies, combined with our numbers, have made us, collectively, a force of nature
Al Gore
I remain optimistic that ultimately free speech and a free press where individuals have access to the dialogue will have a self-correcting quality.
Al Gore
There are good people, who are in politics - in both parties - who hold this at arm's length, because if they acknowledge it and recognize it, then the moral imperative to make big changes is inescapable.
Al Gore
Americans have the right to have their medical decisions made by them and their doctors, and not by those bureaucrats sitting behind a computer screen hundreds of miles away.
Al Gore

Al Gore
Making consumer choices that reward eco-friendly products and companies is a great way to start.
Al Gore
The climate crisis is not a political issue it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.
Al Gore
The cumulative amount of man-made global pollution that's in the atmosphere now traps as much extra heat energy every day as would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every day. It's a big planet, but that's an awful lot of energy.
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.
Al Gore
Take it from me: Elections matter.
Al Gore
In a time of darkness, you don't curse the darkness, you light a candle.
Al Gore
As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.
Al Gore
Pollution should never be the price of prosperity.
Al Gore
Airplane travel is nature's way of making you look like your passport photo.
Al Gore
You can say the Earth is flat, but it doesn't mean you're going to fall off the edge.
Al Gore
Surveillance technologies now available - including the monitoring of virtually all digital information - have advanced to the point where much of the essential apparatus of a police state is already in place.
Al Gore
A day will come when our children and grandchildren will look back and they'll ask one of two questions. Either they will ask: what in God's name were they doing? or they may look back and say: how did they find the uncommon moral courage to rise above politics and redeem the promise of American democracy?
Al Gore
The UK is one of the only nations on earth that has actually met and even exceeded its goals under the Kyoto Protocol.
