“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.”

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’.

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

Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight.

You cannot solve a problem until you acknowledge that you have one and accept responsibility for solving it.

The roughest and toughest fighter I fought was Joe Frazier.

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Let God fight your battles. Let God be your vindicator.

Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.

Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
