Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr. (born March 31, 1948) is an American politician, teacher, businessman, and environmentalist who was the 45th Vice President of the United States in the Clinton administration from 1993 to 2001. Previously, he had served in the United States House of Representatives (1977-85) and the United States Senate (1985-93) for Tennessee.
Gore was the Democratic nominee for President in the 2000 election. He won a plurality of the popular vote, with over half a million more votes than the Republican candidate George W. Bush, but was defeated in the Electoral College by a vote of 271 to 266.
Gore currently is president of the American television channel Current TV, chairman of Generation Investment Management, a director on the board of Apple Inc., and an unofficial adviser to Google's senior management. He lectures widely on the topic of global warming, which he calls "the climate crisis".[1]
Gore has contracted to write a new book, The Assault on Reason, to be published May 22, 2007. While Gore has stated that he does not intend to be a Presidential candidate again, he has left open a possibility towards being a candidate in the future, and Gore is frequently mentioned as a potential candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

A former U.S. Senator and Vice President and an unsuccessful candidate for president. He is a major proponent of the theory that the current global warming trend is due primarily to human activity and that the government should act to reduce green house gas emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. His preferred route for this would be a government imposed tax on carbon used in fuel.
