Al Gore is a great environmentalist

One of the interesting facts about Al Gore is that he is a great environmentalist. Gore has been concerned with environmental issues since 1976 when he hosted the first congressional hearings on climate change and co-sponsored hearings on toxic waste and global warming as a freshman representative. He spoke on the subject throughout the 1980s and is still well-known in the environmental world. He was recognized as an Atari Democrat, afterward dubbed the "Democrats' Greens," legislators who believe problems such as clean air, clean water, and global warming as critical to his party's future victories.

Senator Gore presided over a three-day conference in 1990 with legislators from over 42 countries to design a Global Marshall Plan, "under which industrial nations would assist less developed countries in growing economically while also conserving the environment." In the late 1990s, Gore lobbied hard for the Kyoto Protocol, which called for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. He was opposed by the Senate, which unanimously (95-0) passed the Byrd-Hagel Resolution, which stated that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations, or that "would result in serious harm to the United States' economy".

Gore spoke at the start of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021. He later criticized the Morrison government for not raising Australia's 2030 carbon reduction target.
