SF Climate Week 2025 kicked off with a defining moment: a powerful keynote from former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore. Speaking to a packed room at the iconic Exploratorium, Gore set the tone for the week—framing it as a pivotal moment in the fight for our climate and our democracy.
In this wide-ranging address, Gore underscores the critical connection between climate change and democracy, denounces fossil fuel disinformation, and calls on individuals, businesses, and governments to take bold, immediate action.
Al Gore's Case for Optimism
Gore talks about COP30, the Gates memo, and why he thinks billionaires should face far more scrutiny in the climate fight.
This year’s United Nations climate summit in Belém, Brazil had everything: A literal flood, a literal fire, a record-breaking 1,600+ fossil fuel lobbyists, and delegates from oil-producing nations working overtime to strip the final text of anything resembling a concrete commitment to stop lighting the planet on fire for profit. So naturally, when I spoke to Al Gore on the final day of the summit, he was optimistic. “[The fossil fuel industry] believes they are the global hegemon dictating policy for everyone else,” he said from his home office in Tennessee. “But I don’t think they are.” Gore had returned from COP30 just a few days earlier, and insisted that what he’d seen on the ground was more encouraging than what doom-obsessed reporters like me were fixated on.
