And the longer I go

without a relapse,

the less likely one becomes.

So, I just wanted to say,

we'll probably do, sort of,

three buckets of stuff.

- All right.

- So, there's...

- Is one of them climate?

- Yes, climate.

Yes. One of them is climate,

one of them is sort of

broadly like how politics

are different now

than they were,

- say, 15 years ago.

- Sure.

Citizens United...

I'm interested to hear

your thoughts on that.

- Okay, yeah.

- And then some 2016 stuff.

Okay. But I'm not gonna...

You can decline.

I know you're not gonna...

I'm not gonna commit news.

Yes, I know.

But I'll try to get you to.

Okay.

But we will talk about climate?

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I got to feed the beast,

Mr. Vice President.

Sometimes it seems to me that

the climate crisis is simply

not getting the kind of

coverage in the media

that it should.

You have a

Republican Party right now...

Historically large field, right?

There's no one on climate...

Yeah, it's odd, isn't it?

...in the entire lineup.

Since when did the United States

abandon its traditional

world leadership role?

Especially at a time when,

just this past week,

the President of China says,

"Okay, we're going to adopt

a cap and trade program,"

"and we're reducing

our CO2 emissions,"

"and we want to create jobs"

"in solar and wind

and efficiency."

This is the most serious

global challenge

we've ever faced.

No other country

can play the role

that the U.S. can play.

Do you think that we're reaching

that tipping point

to the point that

it's not going to be

any more denial?

We are at a turning point.

And we can successfully

reach an agreement

in this big global negotiation

in Paris

at the end of November

to have a real meaningful turn

in the right direction.

At what moment did you decide

that you wanted to leave

politics aside and actually

move into this, uh,

new career that you have?

Well, to be honest,

that decision was one made

by the Supreme Court

of the United States.

I enjoyed politics,

but this is a mission

that I have dedicated myself to.

And there's a hunger

for information

about what's happening,

why it's happening,

and how we can fix it.

I usually start

with a black screen.

And, trust me,

after only

two or three times through,

you will associate your own

way of telling each story

with the picture,

and it'll come so easily.

The way the memory works...

Ten years ago,

I made the decision

to launch a training program,

so that anyone

who wanted to learn

the skills to communicate

to thousands of others

could come and get trained.

...'cause really,

all we're trying to do

is get the first stage going,

Al Gore

Albert Arnold Gore Jr. (born March 31, 1948) 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 was 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. Gore was an elected official for 24 years. He was a Representative from Tennessee (1977–85) and from 1985 to 1993 served as one of the state's Senators. He served as Vice President during the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001. The 2000 presidential election was one of the closest presidential races in history. Gore won the popular vote, but after a controversial election dispute over a Florida recount (settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled 5–4 in favor of Bush), he lost the election to Republican opponent George W. Bush in the Electoral College. Gore is the founder and current chair of the Alliance for Climate Protection, the co-founder and chair of Generation Investment Management and the now-defunct Current TV network, a member of the Board of Directors of Apple Inc., and a senior adviser to Google. Gore is also a partner in the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, heading its climate change solutions group. He has served as a visiting professor at Middle Tennessee State University, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Fisk University, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He served on the Board of Directors of World Resources Institute.Gore has received a number of awards that include the Nobel Peace Prize (joint award with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007), a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album (2009) for his book An Inconvenient Truth, a Primetime Emmy Award for Current TV (2007), and a Webby Award (2005). Gore was also the subject of the Academy Award-winning (2007) documentary An Inconvenient Truth in 2006. In 2007, he was named a runner-up for Time's 2007 Person of the Year. more…
