Al Gore frasi celebri

“La disperazione non serve a nulla quando la realtà offre ancora margini di speranza. La disperazione non è che una forma di negazione, che spinge all'inerzia. Non c'è tempo per disperarci.”

“Un antico proverbio africano dice: "Se volete andare in fretta, andate soli; se volete andare lontano, andate insieme".
Dobbiamo andare lontano… in fretta.”

“Le uniche soluzioni sensate ed efficaci alla crisi climatica richiedono agli esseri umani grossi cambiamenti nel modo di agire e di pensare, che favoriscano l'efficienza e la conservazione, stimolino il passaggio dai combustibili fossili all'energia solare, eolica o rinnovabile di altri tipi, e pongano fine alla distruzione delle foreste, delle coltivazioni e dell'impoverimento dei suoli ricchi di carbonio.”

“Possiamo risolvere la crisi climatica. Sarà difficile, certo; ma se scegliamo di risolverla, non ho alcun dubbio che possiamo farcela e ce la faremo.
Inoltre dobbiamo rallegrarci al pensiero che la nostra generazione ha un privilegio raro, appannaggio di pochi: l'opportunità di impegnarsi in una missione storica, che merita i nostri sforzi migliori. Dovremmo essere fieri di vivere in un'epoca in cui ciò che facciamo ora determinerà il futuro della civiltà umana.”

“Ormai non ci sono dubbi che la crisi climatica rappresenti una minaccia senza precedenti non solo per la sopravvivenza del pianeta, ma anche per le nostre idee sulla capacità della democrazia e del capitalismo di riconoscere questo problema come tale e affrontarlo con la giusta prospettiva, fermezza e urgenza.
Il surriscaldamento globale è stato descritto come il più grande fallimento nella storia del mercato, ma è anche, finora, il più grande nella storia della democrazia.”

Al Gore

La Scelta

“La cattiva interpretazione di ciò che giudichiamo come "di valore" e la confusione su cosa è probabile che ci renda felici sono in parte causate dalla nostra ossessione per i beni materiali. Da qui il motto "He who dies with the most toys wins", chi muore con più giocattoli ha vinto, frase ironica che riassume il nostro comportamento, ma che se si considerano le attuali concezioni sullo scopo della vita, è una fonte di saggezza.”

Al Gore Frasi e Citazioni

“In un'economia di mercato come la nostra, tutte le soluzioni sarebbero più efficaci e semplici da realizzare se attribuissimo al CO2 e ad altri agenti inquinanti un prezzo, e per farlo dobbiamo ricorrere agli strumenti giusti. Una volta raggiunto questo obiettivo, l'esternalità negativa prima invisibile, non segnalata dal mercato, verrà alla luce e sarà inclusa nelle decisioni di chi vi partecipa.”

“I mercati dei capitali e il capitalismo hanno raggiunto un punto critico. La predominanza dei ragionamenti a breve termine nel sistema finanziario paralizzerà l'innovazione, danneggerà l'economia, comprometterà ancora di più il sistema pensionistico e finirà con l'erodere il nostro standard di vita. Le comunità degli investitori che pensano a lungo termine, significativa maggioranza degli asset in cui si investe, devono adottare un approccio mentale genuinamente orientato al futuro; lo stesso vale per i dirigenti aziendali e i ricercatori, perché è da questo che dipende la nostra sussistenza e quella dei nostri figli e nipoti.”

“La scelta ci fa paura, ed è potenzialmente eterna. È nelle mani della generazione attuale: una decisione a cui non possiamo sottrarci; e una scelta di cui ci pentiremo o ci rallegreremo per tutte le generazioni future.”

“Se una rana si tuffa in una pentola d'acqua bollente, salta subito fuori perché avverte il pericolo. Ma se si tuffa in una pentola d'acqua tiepida, che viene portata lentamente a ebollizione, non si muove affatto, rimane lì anche se la temperatura continua a salire. E alla fine muore bollita, se qualcuno non la salva. Il nostro sistema nervoso collettivo è come quello della rana: serve una scossa improvvisa perché ci rendiamo conto del pericolo. Se invece ci sembra graduale, anche se arriva velocemente, restiamo seduti senza reagire.”

“Adesso avvertimenti di diverso tipo segnalano un olocausto ambientale senza precedenti. Ma dov'è la vigilanza morale che potrebbe renderci più sensibili al nuovo modello di cambiamento ambientale? Ancora una volta, i leader mondiali cianciano, sperando che il pericolo si dissolva. Eppure oggi l'evidenza di una Notte dei cristalli ecologica è chiara come il suono di un vetro che s'infrange a Berlino.”

Al Gore libro Earth in the Balance

Origine: Now warnings of a different sort signal an environmental holocaust without precedent. But where is the moral alertness that might make us more sensitive to the new pattern of environmental change? Once again, world leaders waffle, hoping the danger will dissipate. Yet today the evidence of an ecological Kristallnacht is as clear as the sound of glass shattering in Berlin.

“The strength of American democracy is shown most clearly through the difficulties it can overcome.”

Quotes, Concession speech (2000)
Contesto: I know that many of my supporters are disappointed. I am too. But our disappointment must be overcome by our love of country.
And I say to our fellow members of the world community, let no one see this contest as a sign of American weakness. The strength of American democracy is shown most clearly through the difficulties it can overcome.

“For the first time in American history, the Executive Branch of our government has not only condoned but actively promoted the treatment of captives in wartime that clearly involves torture, thus overturning a prohibition established by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.”

Quotes, The Assault on Reason (2007)
Contesto: For the first time in American history, the Executive Branch of our government has not only condoned but actively promoted the treatment of captives in wartime that clearly involves torture, thus overturning a prohibition established by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
It is too easy — and too partisan — to simply place the blame on the policies of President George W. Bush. We are all responsible for the decisions our country makes. We have a Congress. We have an independent judiciary. We have checks and balances. We are a nation of laws. We have free speech. We have a free press. Have they all failed us? Why has America's public discourse become less focused and clear, less reasoned? Faith in the power of reason — the belief that free citizens can govern themselves wisely and fairly by resorting to logical debate on the basis of the best evidence available, instead of raw power — remains the central premise of American democracy. This premise is now under assault.

“In a time of social fragmentation, vulgarity becomes a way of life. To be shocking becomes more important - and often more profitable - than to be civil or creative or truly original.”

Quotes, NYU Law School speech (2006)

“What happened at the prison, it is now clear, was not the result of random acts by "a few bad apples," it was the natural consequence of the Bush Administration policy that has dismantled those wise constraints and has made war on America's checks and balances.”

Quotes, NYU Speech (2004)

“Of course, the popular vote was in my favour, and the outcome in the electoral college was not driven by an effort to count every vote that was cast, because the counting was truncated by a Supreme Court decision. In the American system, unfortunately there is no intermediate step between a Supreme Court decision and violent revolution.
Given those two remaining alternatives, I took the advice of Winston Churchill, who said that the American people generally do the right thing after first exhausting every available alternative. Choosing to live under the rule of law seemed to be the only alternative remaining, even though I strongly, strongly disagreed with the Supreme Court decision. Historians and scholars will put that decision in its own separate category.”

"So, Al Gore, what's the one thing we can all do to tackle climate change?" in The Independent (7 July 2007) http://environment.independent.co.uk/climate_change/article2742779.ece.

“George W. Bush promised us a foreign policy with humility. Instead, he has brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world.
He promised to "restore honor and integrity to the White House." Instead, he has brought deep dishonor to our country and built a durable reputation as the most dishonest President since Richard Nixon.
Honor? He decided not to honor the Geneva Convention. Just as he would not honor the United Nations, international treaties, the opinions of our allies, the role of Congress and the courts, or what Jefferson described as "a decent respect for the opinion of mankind." He did not honor the advice, experience and judgment of our military leaders in designing his invasion of Iraq. And now he will not honor our fallen dead by attending any funerals or even by permitting photos of their flag-draped coffins.”

Quotes, NYU Speech (2004)

“The great Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen, wrote, "One of these days, the younger generation will come knocking at my door." The future is knocking at our door right now. Make no mistake, the next generation will ask us one of two questions. Either they will ask: "What were you thinking; why didn't you act?" Or they will ask instead: "How did you find the moral courage to rise and successfully resolve a crisis that so many said was impossible to solve?"”

“If yesterday marked the five month anniversary of the darkest day in American history, today — the Day After — must mark the anniversary of one of the greatest days in American history: because on September 12, a bruised and battered nation began to fight back. Some fought back by rushing to aid and rescue the few surviving victims of the tragedy — and to aid and comfort the grieving and bereaved.”

“Over a year ago I changed my diet to a vegan diet, really just to experiment to see what it was like. And I felt better, so I continued with it. Now, for many people, that choice is connected to environmental ethics and health issues and all that stuff, but I just wanted to try it to see what it was like. In a visceral way, I felt better, so I've continued with it and I'm likely to continue it for the rest of my life.”

Variante: When my sister and I were growing up, there was never any doubt in our minds that men and women were equal, if not more so.

“The unpleasant truth is that President Bush's utter incompetence has made the world a far more dangerous place and dramatically increased the threat of terrorism against the United States. Just yesterday, the International Institute of Strategic Studies reported that the Iraq conflict " has arguably focused the energies and resources of Al Qaeda and its followers while diluting those of the global counterterrorism coalition." The ISS said that in the wake of the war in Iraq Al Qaeda now has more than 18,000 potential terrorists scattered around the world and the war in Iraq is swelling its ranks.”

“In the world of television, the massive flows of information are largely in only one direction, which makes it virtually impossible for individuals to take part in what passes for a national conversation. Individuals receive, but they cannot send. They hear, but they do not speak. The "well-informed citizenry" is in danger of becoming the "well-amused audience."”

Quotes, IPI speech (2000)

“In 1991, I crossed party lines and supported the use of force against Saddam Hussein, but he was allowed to survive his defeat as the result of a calculation we all had reason to deeply regret for the ensuing decade. And we still do. So this time, if we resort to force, we must absolutely get it right. It must be an action set up carefully and on the basis of the most realistic concepts. Failure cannot be an option, which means that we must be prepared to go the limit. And wishful thinking based on best-case scenarios or excessively literal transfers of recent experience to different conditions would be a recipe for disaster.”

“I've kind of fallen out of love with politics. … Whatever experience and talents I've gained over the years — I think it may well be that the highest and best use of that is to try to bring enough awareness of the solutions to the climate crisis and enough of a sense of urgency that we come together across party lines on behalf of our children.”

As quoted in "Gore: I've 'fallen out of love with politics'" at CNN (6 July 2007) http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/05/gore.office/index.html.

“The abhorrent acts in the prison were a direct consequence of the culture of impunity encouraged, authorized and instituted by Bush and Rumsfeld in their statements that the Geneva Conventions did not apply. The apparent war crimes that took place were the logical, inevitable outcome of policies and statements from the administration.
To me, as glaring as the evidence of this in the pictures themselves was the revelation that it was established practice for prisoners to be moved around during ICRC visits so that they would not be available for visits. That, no one can claim, was the act of individuals. That was policy set from above with the direct intention to violate US values it was to be upholding. It was the kind of policy we see — and criticize in places like China and Cuba.”
