The problem is 1) our habits are energy intensive 2) we want too much speed 3) people have gotten lazy We have been sold machinery for ease and speed and it will probably be impossible to reverse these trends mainly because capitalism requires competition and the one who slows down cannot compete.

CO2 is in no way a horrible gas, it is the foundation of all life on the planet except chemotroph bacteria living in places where there is no oxygen. There is only 0,04% CO2 in the atmosphere and if we should go below 0,02% plants would suffocate and we would all die (except for the for bacteria I mentioned before). Our planet has never in hundreds of millions of years been this low except for the previous 100 years and we should consider ourselves lucky that it has reversed a little. That is also why our planet is getting greener and the deserts are shrinking, because plants need less water when CO2 levels get higher.

1. Because of the Constitutional anachronism of the Electoral College, which handed his opponent the 2000 presidential election, despite Gore having won the popular vote by a margin approximately three times larger than JFK's popular vote margin over Nixon in 1960, thereby altering the outcome of a Presidential election (and the course of history) for the first (but, sadly, not the last) time in well over a century. 2. Because of his systematically negative treatment by the elite Washington press corps, both in that election (meaning in the Democratic primary as well as in the General Election) and for long afterwards, which treatment succeeded in labeling him, in the popular imagination, despite the absence of any actual evidence, as a politician somehow uniquely given to lies and deception, in a sort of preview of the inane & hysterically vilifying ("but her emails!") coverage of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. That latter election of course brought to power the anti-Al Gore -- the least prepared and least capable president in modern US history, by a wide margin. Al Gore would be have been the diametric opposite of that. On climate, in particular, he was quite simply decades ahead of the conventional wisdom at the time. His 2000 loss (and attendant media vilification) effectively cast him out of national politics--and demoted vigorous climate action from the halls of power for the better part of a generation. We are only now crawling back out of that hole.

The current problem with wind and solar (pardon my pun) is transmission. No one wants to invest in new transmission lines until renewable sites are approved and work has begun. But no company will invest in a renewable site unless there are high capacity transmission lines that allow them to sell their power. Another big issue, at least in industrialized countries, is “not in my backyard.” Towers and high voltage lines are not pretty, and everywhere they are proposed people fight them tooth and nail. Just look at where most new wind power installations are being proposed. Offshore, so only nearby coastal “neighbors” to object to the loss of view, and almost all are near existing or retired fossil fuel generation facilities. That’s because those existing facilities already have high power connectivity to the grid. So only a line or two need to be run from the wind farm to shore to achieve a grid connection. But beach communities are fighting even that minor change.

I have lived in a big city where I did not need a car because everything was in walking distance since there were many small shops spread out which is better than a small number of big companies. Big companies are bad because they concentrate too much in one place which reduces competition for workers and prices so worker wages go down and prices for everything go up because of the monopoly effect. Workers are paid less when they have less choices where to work and prices go up when we have less choices where to buy. We need to stop giving billions to large oil polluting monopolies and spend that on cleaner energy companies. Vote out politicians who get million dollar bribes to refuse to punish big oil companies for overcharging for gas.

I am charged up after this speech! Bravo! Let’s do this

Al Gore, I appreciate your passion and commitment. You are undoubtedly correct about the fact that the fossil fuel industry is doing everything it can to continue business as usual at the expense of environmental sustainability and the continued habitability of our beloved Earth. But you are dead wrong, and this is a life or death matter, when you say "the climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis." Surely you know that should we follow your idea that the solution to resolving the climate crisis is to "phase out fossil fuels" will not work without a simultaneous change in diets towards plants and a major reduction in methane and other short-lived climate forcers. Surely you understand that if we reach net zero on fossil fuels without simultaneous reductions in methane from all major sources, we will see a dangerous increase in heating in the short term, heating that will take us well over the 1.5º C increase and probably the 2º threshold as well. Why won't you acknowledge the powerful, positive impact of drastically reducing animal agriculture and reforesting or rewilding the land freed up from pastures and feed crop cultivation? I'm fine with you primarily focusing on fossil fuels, but you are not being truthful if you don't at least let people know that fossil fuels alone are not driving the planetary heating.

I wonder if he had shown this much passion in 2000 if he would have won the presidency.

If only he could have talked like this when he ran for president. He was so stiff back then it broke my heart. What a wonderful man

I detest political affiliation and identity (as a disclaimer), so that's not where this is coming from, but I'd just appreciate the opportunity to say - that Al Gore has a strong, vital, vigorous capacity for stagecraft. His facility with our inherent, natural linguistic capability - with natural language - truly evidences his sincerity... his sincere intelligence, both of heart and mind. He has accomplished much of value for humanity, in his small, ultimately obscure little life on this spinning, earthy ball. Aside from my extreme propensity toward critical assessment (of anything; of everything)... I listen and learn (and love) when he speaks/when he holds forth. In the final analysis, he has truly been, overall, a force for humanity's good, and an instrument of meaningfully positive change, in the fraught course of our evolution. He is appreciated. 👍

@78Terp and? It still wasn't illegal for him to question the election. None of his Lawyers have ever been charged in helping him question the election. Sending alternate slate of electors isn't illegal. But somehow when the Lawyers recommend Trump do something that has been legally done before, its somehow illegal. Weird how it wasn't illegal for Hillary to send alternate electors for the 2016 election for Biden to possibly pick. Weird how the V.P didn't have the power to use alternate electors during 2020 election, but the democrats wanted V.P. Biden to do the same. You do realize that his phone call to Georgia was about the claims of missing ballots? He was literally asking them to do their jobs and investigate the claims of missing ballots. Like the USB drives of Trump votes that weren't counted during the election but found during the recounts AND the audits they did. Al Gore want them to investigate claims of missing votes in florida and the courts said he didn't have enough evidence for it. We literally have people on CCTV feeding ballots into machines in Georgia, and they couldn't account for every single vote, yet the courts dismissed due to standing.

What a speech. If we manage to transform to a fossil fuel free society in time to avoid total catastrophe, it will be in part this man's tireless sounding of the alarm that helped get us there.

There is no coming catastrophe. The earth has been in an over all cooling trend for the last 4,000 years. CO2 emissions do not cause climate change. It's chemically impossible.

I LOVE HOW HE GETS ANGRY AND YELLS. IT MADE ME CRY FOR THE HOPE OF IT ALL.

Simple Changes to the Department of Energy 1. They should own the patents on all the energy projects that they fund. 2. They should collect royalties from all the promising energy projects and patents that they have. 3. The more energy projects that get funded and get completed and get commercialized they should earn royalties and licensing fee upon all these completed energy projects that allows the Department of Energy to make more and more money which would allow them to create more and more energy projects and thus earn more and more royalties and licensing fees and so on and so forth. 4. Therefore the Department of Energy would be like a quasi government and quasi business organization that would be focused on business objectives like efficiency and etc with bringing more and more competition and innovation to energy markets around the world. 5. And they should be audited by outside groups every once in awhile too.

"It's not the fossil fuels, it's the emissions " ....that tracks with their mentality

It is the emissions. We need CCS in order to meet targets.

Al Gore will be on the right side of history.
