| In this morning's first panel discussion at the Clinton Global Initiative, former President Bill Clinton and his VP, Al Gore, talked about how the nation's financial situation might have played out differently if we'd dealt intelligently with energy issues years ago -- a theme Clinton has sounded several times this week. Gore said that the climate crisis and the financial meltdown are based on similar assumptions. 'The current economic crisis was triggered, of c ... |

| Al Gore endorsed Barack Obama on Monday evening in Detroit, Mich., calling him 'a candidate who, in response to those doubting our ability to solve the climate crisis and create a bright future, inspired millions to say, 'Yes we can.'' 'For America to lead the world through the dangers and opportunity we're seeing before us, we've got to have new leadership,' said Gore.

| At long last, Al Gore is jumping back into the presidential election ring. With an endorsement, we mean. In a speech to be delivered at 8:30 p.m. EST in Detroit, Mich., the Goracle will endorse Barack Obama. From the announcement on Gore's blog: A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected Presiden ... |

| Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is pretty jazzed about this statement of support for the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act that Al Gore released today: I want to commend Senator Boxer for her leadership of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Thanks to her vision and dedication, we have the first global warming bill in history that is comprehensive, bipartisan and that enjoys support across the country -- from labor and agriculture to the business and the e ... |

The Goracle

| Exhibiting a curious mixture of nostalgia and irreverence, Al Gore returned to the halls of Congress yesterday to make the case for sweeping federal action to fight global warming. Buoyed by his recent Academy Award triumph, Gore testified at hearings in both the House and the Senate. Audiences of hundreds lined the oak-paneled walls of the hearing rooms, crowded the aisles, ... |

| It is "time for a national oil change," said Al Gore with a sly wink in his voice. "That is apparent to anyone who has looked at our national dipstick." "Freeze right there!" says Gore. Photo: David Lodge/WireImage This was one of the few moments of comedy in what was billed as a "major policy address" yesterday by the former veep. ... |

| Al Gore. Photo: The House Policy Committee. Al Gore, once derided by the right as a stiff, wooden Ozone Man, is now recasting himself as the fiery, headstrong Climate Avenger -- a blunt and passionate spokesperson about what he calls "a collision between our civilization and the earth." He is currently in negotiations to play a starring role in a big-budget, feature-length documentary ... |

| LOS ANGELES, Calif. With much fanfare and an excess of recyclable confetti, Democrats sent Al Gore forth last night into what will be a grueling three-month campaign stretch. The vice president must convince skeptical voters that he has what it takes to lead and that electing him over Texas Gov. George W. Bush will make a real difference. Those towering challenges were plainly evident in Gore's acceptance speech before a boisterous crowd inside the S ... |

| Green Giant? Ho, Ho, Ho By Ben White 21 Apr 2000 In honor of Earth Day, we take a one-week respite from our dizzying political tour of the United States in order to take a dizzying political tour of Vice President Al Gore. What could be more fun? Perhaps you will require sedation before reading further. Gore-the-environmentalist blasted back on the scene just in time for Earth Day with a few words on cleaner cars and a brand-spanking-new book called Earth in the Balance. Oh, wait. That's an old ... |
