Here is the truth: The Earth is round, Saddam Hussein did not attack us on 9/11, Elvis is dead, Obama was born in the United States, and the climate crisis is real.
—Al Gore
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.
—Al Gore
The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences.
—Al Gore
The consensus is clear. We need an immediate and determined shift to a clean, renewable economy. The continued mass burning of fossil fuels is inconsistent with a healthy, prosperous future for our civilization.
—Al Gore
Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it's a challenge to the moral imagination.
—Al Gore
The debate's over. The people who dispute the international consensus on global warming are in the same category now with the people who think the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.
—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
We have arrived at a moment of decision. Our home Earth is in grave danger. What is at risk of being destroyed is not the planet itself, of course, but the conditions that have made it hospitable for human beings.
—Al Gore
Al Gore is not just whistling in the wind. Global warming is for real. Every scientist knows that now, and we are on our way to the destruction of every species on earth if we don't pay attention and reverse our course.
—Theodore C. Sorensen
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
Future generations may well have occasion to ask themselves, "What were our parents thinking? Why didn't they wake up when they had a chance?" We have to hear that question from them now.
—Al Gore
There are many who would much prefer that the word 'climate' never be mentioned and that the issue be eliminated from our national conversation.
—Al Gore
The scientific evidence of how serious this climate crisis is becoming continues to amass week after week after week.
—Al Gore
I'm passionate about restoring the efficacy of American democracy, making capitalism sustainable, prioritizing advances in technology, and seizing the opportunities to use such innovation to help usher in a new economy that doesn't rely on carbon-spewing fossil fuels.
—Al Gore

It’s been obvious from the very first moment he stepped onto the political stage that Donald Trump is a racist. And that racism is at the core of his political ideology. It’s not a side dish. It’s the main course.
—Seth Meyers
It’s hard to calculate the damage that President Trump’s overt racism and almost daily attacks on black and brown people are having on the fabric of our nation.

My mother never saw the irony of calling me a son of a bitch.

Let's have a moment of silence for all those Americans who are stuck in traffic on their way to the gym to ride the stationary bicycle.

What happened with that petition for the City of New York to rename Fifth Avenue Barack Obama Avenue to make the address of Trump Tower 721–725 Barack Obama Avenue?
