Before he became Vice President, Gore served as a member of the U.S. Congress (1977-1985) and a senator from Tennessee (1985-1993). His father, Albert Arnold Gore, was also a three term senator. Later, he became a famous environmentalist in the world. His contribution to global climate change and environmental issues was recognized by the international community, so he shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC). In June 2010, Al Gore separated from his wife, tipper Al Gore. The 40 years of love between the American political model couple was once regarded by Al Gore as the prototype of the novel love story. He once proposed the famous concepts of "information superhighway" and "Digital Earth", which triggered a technological revolution.

Character works

His works include "the earth on the verge of imbalance" (translated by Chen Jiaying et al., published by Central Compilation and Translation Press in 1997) and "the truth that can not be ignored" (published by Hunan Science and Technology Press in 2007).

Personal experience

Born in Kentucky on March 31, 1948, he spent his childhood in Kentucky, Tennessee and Washington, D.C. In the summer, he worked on his father's farm. He got up early in the morning to feed livestock, prepare forage and reclaim farmland. Sometimes he went to Washington, D.C., to see his father, who was a senator there.

In 1965, Gore met his future partner, Tiber, at a school dance.

In June 1969, Al Gore graduated from Harvard University with outstanding achievements. In August of the same year, he joined the army and served as an intelligence officer of the U.S. Army Aviation Academy.

On May 19, 1970, Al Gore married Tiber.

In 1971, after the base was withdrawn, he was sent to a large army logistics base near Saigon. Gore retired from the army in 1971 and returned to the United States. He and tiple settled in Nashville, where he began working as a reporter for Nashville's Tennessee newspaper and took a course in the Graduate School of religion at vidbit University. He later studied at the University of viderbit law school.

When Gore was a reporter for the Tennessee newspaper in Nashville, he exposed the cheating scandal of Jack crady, chairman of Nashville City Council. At the time, Jack crady owned shares in both companies that had business relations with the city. In addition, Gore also revealed that Jack supports the expansion of sewers for a commercial center in order to obtain benefits from developers. Jack crady was later found guilty of profiting from the deal.

On November 2, 1976, Al Gore was elected as a member of the house of Representatives. He won the election of the fourth national assembly in Tennessee with more than 90% support in the 1976 general election.

On August 16, 1978, Gore presided over a congressional hearing on price control in the pharmaceutical industry. There is a rumor that pharmaceutical companies have branded some generic drugs, which makes consumers spend more money on generic drugs. Gore told reporters at the hearing: "we have reason to believe that this pharmaceutical company can make nearly 5000% of profits only by labeling common drugs. Families who need these drugs have been cheated by these frauds."

On October 6, 1984, Gore was elected to the US Senate with more than 60% of the votes.

In 1988, as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in 1988, he won more than 3 million votes in the general election, and also won primary elections in Arkansas, Northern California, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Nevada and Wyoming. "

In November 1992, Gore was elected the 45th vice president of the United States.

Parliamentary career

congressman

Al Gore joined the U.S. Congress at the age of 28 and served as a representative (1976-1984) and a Senator (1984-1993). During this period, he had three children: Kristin (born June 5, 1977), Sarah (born January 7, 1979) and Albert (born October 19, 1982). Gore usually returns to his hometown every weekend for a holiday and continues to work there.

Gore was elected to the house of representatives in 1976 with 32% of the vote, three percentage points more than his closest opponent. Then he was re elected for three terms (1978, 1980, 1982). In 1984, he was elected to the Senate and won one seat. Although he is a Democratic Party, his position is more centrist, such as his support for anti abortion and banning the sale of firearms. In Congress, he also joined the house energy policy committee and the science and Technology Committee for four years. When the Persian Gulf War broke out in 1991, Gore was one of ten Democratic members who supported the war.

1988 Presidential Election

Gore had participated in the presidential election of the United States in 1988 and the primary election of the Democratic Party. He won the presidential nomination in the south of the United States by selling his position as the youngest candidate (only 40 years old) and centrist. Despite the defeat of this term, it won 13.68% of the votes, ranking third among the five candidates.

Vice president of the United States

In 1992, Gore did not run for the 1992 U.S. presidential election for family reasons, but later he agreed to be the deputy of Clinton, who is also a Democrat. At first, many people criticized this group as very unwise, because Al Gore came from Tennessee, which borders Arkansas. Both states are in the south, which violates the traditional election strategy of the candidates from different regions. But in retrospect, many people think that Gore was also one of the key factors for Clinton's victory in the 1992 election, because their youth gave voters a fresh impression.

Gore officially became Vice President of the United States on January 20, 1993. At that time, the United States was facing a huge fiscal deficit. Based on the centrist position, he strongly advocated reducing government waste and preventing excessive government power, and advocated reducing the size of the government and a series of unnecessary controls. This is not only very different from the Democratic Party's consistent attitude (traditional Democrats advocate "big government" to increase government expenditure), but also somewhat similar to Reagan's orientation when he was president. When Reagan was in office, he tried to repeal more than 100 outdated laws. Because of his experience as a science and Technology Committee in parliament, Gore advocated the development of high technology as the driving force of the new economy. From the perspective of the future effect, Gore's proposal is not fruitless. Since 1996, the information technology industry has become a new driving force of the U.S. economy, creating a long period of economic prosperity for the Clinton administration.

Gore is a firm environmentalist. During his tenure in the White House, he actively promoted Clinton to sign the Kyoto protocol. When the protocol was drafted, it caused controversy in the United States. Opponents argued that the implementation of the Kyoto protocol might significantly reduce the growth of U.S. GDP. Among them, George W. Bush, the governor of Texas at that time, attacked the Kyoto Protocol, which had the most serious impact on the Midwest of the United States. When the protocol was discussed in parliament, it was not supported by any one vote (at that time, the parliament passed the "Byrd Hagel resolution" by 95 votes to none, demanding to veto the protocol). However, under the promotion of Gore, the Kyoto protocol was finally signed by Clinton in early 1998 and officially passed.

Judging from the future situation, the Kyoto protocol has its positive original intention (promoting environmental protection), but there are always voices of opposition and criticism. In addition to affecting the economy and employment, critics include environmentalists. They questioned that the standard of Kyoto protocol was too low to deal with the serious crisis in the future. Gore's environmental protection stance has also been criticized to a certain extent. Critics have criticized Gore for warning of the global warming crisis on the one hand, and on the other hand, he often takes private airplanes that consume a lot of fuel. His position is totally contradictory.

2000 presidential election

As early as January 1998, it was rumored that Al Gore would represent the Democratic Party in the 2000 US presidential election. Gore also announced his candidacy in his hometown Tennessee on June 16, 1999. Because of the great support from the Democratic Party of the United States, Gore became the Democratic candidate in the 2000 presidential election with one side support in the primary election. Later, on August 13, 2000, he announced that he had recruited Senator Joe Lieberman as the vice presidential candidate. The latter is a conservative group in the party, with a more conservative position than Gore, and has publicly criticized Clinton's actions in the "zipper door" case. It is generally believed that Gore, in view of Clinton's "zipper door" which angered many conservatives, specially recruited a conservative figure as the vice president to increase the odds.

Al Gore was 11 percentage points ahead of his Republican opponent George W. Bush in the public opinion survey at first, but he was criticized for being too arrogant in the TV debate, his speech was too blunt, and he avoided his opponent everywhere in his political platform, which made Bush come behind in the public opinion survey in the later stage of the election, and the gap between him and Al Gore was shortened to a unit number. A dispute in the formal election made Gore fall into the low point of his political career.
