Former US vice president Al Gore talks about his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," his battle against global warming, and rumors of his return to politics in the 2008 race for the White House.
Former US vice president Al Gore on global warming: "A lot of Democrats are resistant to change on this issue."
SPIEGEL: Mr. Gore, what kind of car do you drive?
Gore: About a year ago we bought a hybrid, but I don't drive very much. We've changed our entire lifestyle. We made the decision to be carbon-neutral and eliminate any net CO2 contribution to the environment. Even "An Inconvenient Truth" was produced in part using carbon-neutral, alternative energies. Paramount also made the decision to ensure that the tour and the promotional activities would be done in a carbon-neutral way.
SPIEGEL: But your noble commitment seems to be just a drop in the bucket. You keep saying yourself that we only have ten years before climate change starts to destroy humanity.
Gore: Yeah. Well, I think that we're going to solve the crisis. But it's going to take a lot of changes quickly
