More quotes by Al Gore
I'm a big fan of Bitcoin ... Regulation of money supply needs to be depoliticized.
Al Gore
We need to put a price on carbon. This needs to be a priority for all of us in how we vote.
Al Gore
In the end, we must restore a balance within ourselves between who we are and what we are doing. Each of us must take a greater personal responsibility for this deteriorating global environment each of us must take a hard look at the habits of mind and action that reflect - and have led to - this grave crisis.
Al Gore
If you want your energy bills to go up, you should support an ever greater dependence on foreign oil, because the rate of new discoveries is declining as demand in China and India is growing, and the price of oil and thus the price of coal will go sky high.
Al Gore
I'm going to be focused on doing everything I possibly can to help solve the climate crisis.
Al Gore
We face a climate crisis now that is the most serious challenge our civilization has ever confronted. And the greatest country in the world [America] has to remain a part of this unprecedented global agreement to deal with it.
Al Gore
My fellow Americans, people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis, it's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act, that's a renewable resource, let's renew it.
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
It's as if we think the laws of physics are subject to debate and amendment and political contributions can sway the laws of physics.
Al Gore
Hey, you know what, I've gotta go on that 'Letterman' show. That show is so lame.
Al Gore
The scientific evidence of how serious this climate crisis is becoming continues to amass week after week after week.
Al Gore
The American people overwhelmingly want our troops out of Iraq. They want the federal government to take real and immediate action to combat global warming and to significantly expand support for stem cell research. Democrats almost unanimously support the people's wishes onthese crucial issues. Republicans don't.
Al Gore
Global warming pollution, indeed all pollution, is now described by economists as an “externality.” This absurd label means, in essence: we don’t to keep track of this stuff so let’s pretend it doesn’t exist.
Al Gore
The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. We have all the technologies we need, more are being developed.... But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.
Al Gore
As long as the government's actions are secret, it cannot be held accountable. A government for the people and by the people should be transparent to the people.
Al Gore
Unless we stop dumping 70 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every 24 hours, which we are doing right now ... the continued acceleration of this pollution would destroy the future of human civilization.
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 Internet empowers individuals to play a more active role in the political process, as Obama's campaign has manifested.
Al Gore
Remember that the problem is bigger than the car you drive or the types of lightbulbs in city hall. We need a fundamental shift away from dirty fossil fuels that spew carbon pollution. To make that happen, we need to put pressure on our leaders to take the bold actions necessary to move us off dirty sources of energy.
Al Gore
Take it from me: Elections matter.
Al Gore
