 "Vice President al gore of the United States recently proclaimed: "We know that as a result of global warming, there is more heat in the climate system, and it is heat that drives El Nino." He added confidently (and possibly inaccurately): "Unless we act we can expect more extreme weather in the years ahead."3 The vice president was drumming up support for passage of a $6.3 billion program to reduce emissions of global warming gases and can be excused his dire prediction. One of the benefits of the recent El Ninos is that they have brought the issue of global warming into the public spotlight."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "In Al Gore's 2006 movie An Inconvenient Truth, a disturbing chart cites rising rates of illnesses, among them SARS, malaria, Ebola virus, and avian flu. The documentary's accompanying Web site states that with continued warming, deaths from climate-related illness are expected to rise sharply over the next two decades, according to projections by the World Health Organization. The question emerges: As the planet warms from pollution and infection-bearing mosquitoes and ticks proliferate in more temperate climates, how much will illness rates rise?"- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "The Autoimmune Epidemic is every bit as compelling as Upton Sinclair's groundbreaking novel The Jungle and every bit as necessary as An Inconvenient Truth, the startling movie featuring al gore and directed by Davis Guggenheim, that shows us that global warming is upon us and may at some point in the near future be irreversible. You will leave this book with no reservations about the veracity of the conclusions: put simply, there is no doubt that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and our increasing environmental exposure to toxins and chemicals is fueling this rise. The research is sound." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "I recently analyzed a videotaped encounter between a reporter and al gore in which the reporter repeatedly entered Al Gore's personal space and, on occasion, grasped his arm. His response was to immediately shrink away from her touch. This minute movement would have escaped most people; however, I was able to view the interaction in slow motion, and was able to capture Gore's slight backward movement. Of course, it was obvious he did not intend to move away; however, it is usually an automatic response to pull away when someone enters your zone without permission."- Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.) |

An Inconvenient Truth directed by Davis Guggenheim (2006) and An Inconvenient Truth by al gore (Rodale Press, 2006) If you want a crash course in what climate change is, how we know it's here, and what we can expect if we don't do something about it, there is no better resource than Al Gore's documentary and companion book An Inconvenient Truth. The documentary consists mostly of footage of Gore giving his now-famous lecture on how we know climate change is real, here, and serious."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "Moreover, aging persons are disproportionately affected by drastic changes in temperature, as has been evidenced by high mortality rates during severe heat waves in several countries.
As al gore and others have taught us, we can all make small changes in our lives to combat global warming by:
?Recycling
?Driving less and walking more
?Carpooling or taking public transportation
?Flying less
?Reducing our reliance on air-conditioning and heating •Using energy-efficient products
?Choosing green energy for our homes
?Supporting public efforts to pursue alternative sources of energy

| "The fifty short personal essays are written by MoveOn's members, and are woven together with the two cents' worth of some impressive leaders, including al gore, Nancy Pelosi, and Gail Sheehy. Topics range from creating a successful online petition to starting your own radio show. Although the book focuses more on "traditional" voting-based actions, such as petitioning and mobilizing underserved voters, than on conquering new media, it does provide additional tips and resources to tie on-the-ground action to online action." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |

We later learned that the picture of multiple clones of ourselves scattered throughout the universe had some lineage.

"Some people even argued that it was self-evident that absolutely every- *We wrote our paper in 2001, right after the contentious presidential election in the United States, when George Bush won over al gore by a very narrow margin. thing must happen in an infinite universe. This claim, however, is false. Consider, for example, the sequence of odd numbers 1,3,5,7,. .. The sequence is infinite, but you cannot conclude that it contains all possible numbers. In fact, all even numbers are missing from the sequence." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.) |
| "There are also a few pithy reminders of things we too often forget, like this statement from Al Gore: "Voting is how we come together, as Americans and as believers in self-rule. There is no greater or more profound right of citizenship. Take it from this veteran of a close and controversial election: The process matters. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And then there's that little-known third category. But democracy wins when all of us get in gear and participate with enthusiasm and passion and heartfelt commitment." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "Using Haddad's activism to mobilize opposition votes and Al Gore's willingness to vilify the industry in general, Waxman defeated Engman's patent-extension legislation.
For a time following his defeat, Engman worked on a number of other industry-relief efforts. Certainly the time was still right for anything that offered a way to make the nation more competitive. Congress had passed the Bayh-Dole Act in 1981, which made it easier for the industry to use research discoveries that originated in publicly funded laboratories."- Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.) |
 "Today, of course, people from al gore to Julia Roberts are on a mission to make it clear that humanity has the power to cause cataclysmic change in just a few generations. But before the 1950s, most scientists believed that climate change took thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of years.
That doesn't mean they didn't accept the notion that glaciers and ice sheets had once covered the Northern Hemisphere. They were just happily certain that glaciers moved, well, glacially: eons to descend and epochs to recede."- Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.) |
 "It is of course no coincidence that the same people who are deeply wedded to high fossil fuel use - oilmen, for example - are the ones most likely to deny the reality of climate change. As al gore reminds his audience during the slideshow for his film An Inconvenient Truth, there is nothing so difficult as trying to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it. This is classic denial: no one wants to hold a mental image of themselves as bad or evil, so immoral acts are necessarily dressed up in a cloak of intellectual self-justification."- Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |
 "After a 2000 campaign speech to farmers by al gore, vlieger told the presidential candidate about his cow's preference for non-GM corn. Gore asked if other farmers noticed that their animals responded differently to GM food. About 12 to 15 hands went up.117
Cattle even broke through a fence and walked through a field of Roundup Ready corn in order to consume the non-GM variety on the other side.118
A retired Iowa farmer fed squirrels through the winter months by placing corncobs on feeders. One year, he put non-GM corn in one feeder and Bt in another about 20 feet away."- Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.) |

 "Bob continued, "Vice President al gore has contacted the Vermont Department of Ag and wants the official position of the USDA."
"We will take care of the White House," Detwiler said, sitting up even straighten She was quiet for a moment and then said, "We want to buy the animals and will pay fair market value."
"What is 'fair market value'?" Larry asked. "You keep saying 'fair market value,' but we have no idea whether you are talking about $100 an animal or $100,000."- Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.) |
 "Lest it seem that I exaggerate the parallels between these two types of total states and the religious nature of the therapeutic state, consider Vice President Al Gore's by no means atypical remarks, offered in an address at Emory University on June 1, 2000. Pledging to wage the war on cancer with renewed vigor, he declared, "Within ten years, no one in America should have to die from colon cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer. . . . The power to fight cancer comes from the heart and from the human spirit. But most of all, it comes from being able to imagine a day when you are cancer-free."- Thomas Szasz, The Medicalization of Everyday Life: Selected Essays (Get the book.) |
| "He suggested we contact Al Gore's office directly. "This has to be based on international trade disagreements," he said. "Maybe it's the old cattle/sheep wars."
As I hung up I realized the story was getting more complex. Was this retaliation for the EU not accepting U.S. hormone-treated beef? Was someone in the sheep industry angry over our importation? Was the dairy industry feeling threatened? And what was the political pressure Detwiler referred to? The National Cattleman's Beef Association? The pharmaceutical industries?" - Linda Faillace, Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm (Get the book.) "According to the Center for Responsive Politics, al gore received $23,000 and George W. Bush received $600,000. Dale Moore, former executive director for legislative affairs for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, became chief of staff for Secretary Veneman. Elizabeth Johnson became one of her senior advisors. Johnson's former position? Associate director of food policy at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.

 "The stock market was soaring. al gore was busy inventing the Internet, when not starring in Love Story. Kremlinologists were beating down the doors of DC. soup kitchens. Enron was not yet a verb and Monica's dress hung neatly in her closet. With the Cold War defunct, the CIA was in limbo.
Then came the Clinton-Gore Partnership for Reinventing Government in 1993; streamlining the government became the order of the day, and hundreds of intelligence jobs were cut.

 "Obviously, relative performance is guaranteed to disappoint at least half the players, even under the best conditions. al gore was shocked that half of all students performed below the average. Investors are alarmed when—in good times—half of them don't keep up with the average gains and they are disgusted in bad times, when all of them lose money.
Over time, all investors are destined to lose money (compared with the general market), for the cost of the Wall Street casino must be paid."- William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.) |

 "Bush's defeated Democratic opponent al gore joined the forces of denial by his own silence on the objectives stated in his book Earth in the Balance. One of his goals was to eliminate the internal combustion engine by 2020. In 1992, former President Bush said this about Al Gore: "This guy is so far off in the environmental extreme, we'll be up to our neck in owls and out of work for every American. This guy is crazy. He's way out, far out, man!" (Applause) Yet even Gore himself has sold out.
