An Inconvenient Truth Quote
[Looking at a picture of a scientist observing a set of scales that hold the globe on one side and a stack of gold bars on the other]
Al Gore: We have here a scales that balances two different things. On one side, we have *gold* bars! Mmmmmm, don't they look good? I'd just like to have some of those gold bars. Mmmmm. On the other side of the scales... um... THE ENTIRE PLANET! Hmmmm... [the audience laughs]
Al Gore: I think this is a false choice for two reasons: number one, if we don't *have* a planet... [laughter]
Al Gore: The other reason is that, if we do the *right* thing, then we're gonna create a lot of wealth, and we're gonna create a lot of jobs, because doing the right thing moves us forward."
