Al Gore Quotes


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.

This was a climate-change science denier who actually helps make the climate change argument in this quote. Since the Earth has had several ice ages, there must of been times when it did not go from hot to cold as Koch herein observes. During periods after the ice ages, climate went from cold to hot. But this point has nothing to do with the contemporary evidence of man made global warming.. Scientists with the benefit of mathematics have been able to calculate the normal and average temperature fluctuations and the actual fluctuations that have occurred since man began the industrial revolution. The clear difference shows that there has been an increase over and above the normal fluctuations that new expected.

Albert Arnold Gore Jr. is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th vice president of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Gore was Bill Clinton's running mate in their successful campaign in 1992 and the pair were re-elected in 1996. Near the end of Clinton's second term, Gore was selected as the Democratic nominee for the 2000 presidential election but lost the election in a very close race after a Florida recount. After his term as vice-president ended in 2001, Gore remained prominent as an author and environmental activist, whose work in climate change activism earned him (jointly with the IPCC) the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. In 2008, Gore won the Dan David Prize for Social Responsibility.
