“The climate crisis is not a political issue; it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.”

I have always been fascinated with those who try to look over the horizon and see things that are coming at us.

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.

Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it’s a challenge to the moral imagination.

A zebra does not change its spots.

In a time of darkness, you don’t curse the darkness, you light a candle.

At some point, a false belief collides with physical reality.

We are running out of time, we must have a planetary solution to a planetary crisis.

I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. But freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion, there is a better way.

The planet is in distress and all of the attention is on Paris Hilton.

The fate of mankind, as well as religion, depends on the emergence of a new faith in the future. Armed with such a faith, we might find it possible to resanctify the earth.

During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.

I am old enough to know that a red carpet is just a rug.

Well, the title “An Inconvenient Truth” is a way of highlighting the reasons why some people, including the president, don’t seem to accept the truth.

Science is warning us that if we do not quickly reduce the global warming pollution that is trapping so much of the heat our planet normally radiates back out of the atmosphere, we are in danger of creating a permanent ‘carbon summer’.

I don’t really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.

It is just human nature to take time to connect the dots, I know that. But I also know that there can be a day of reckoning when you wish you had connected the dots more quickly.

My family always gave me love and accompanied me in each of my challenges.

It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

New season. New challenge.

Don’t wish it was easier wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom.

I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it’s going to work or whether I’m going to fall flat on my face.

Global warming is not only the number one environmental challenge we face today, but one of the most important issues facing all of humanity.

I’m not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.

Challenges will keep coming. And I’ll keep rising up to them.
