Albert Arnold Gore Jr. was born on March 31, 1948, in Washington, D.C. His father, Albert Gore Sr., was a U.S. Representative and later a Senator from Tennessee. His mother, Pauline LaFon Gore, was one of the first women to graduate from Vanderbilt Law School. Gore spent his childhood divided between Washington, D.C., during the school year and the family farm in Carthage, Tennessee, in the summers. He attended Harvard University, graduating in 1969 with a degree in government. After college, Gore enlisted in the U.S. Army in August 1969, serving as a military journalist in the Vietnam War from 1971. Following his military service, he worked as a reporter for The Tennessean and studied philosophy and law at Vanderbilt University before entering politics.
Gore’s political career began in 1976 when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Tennessee, serving four terms. In 1984, he successfully ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate. As a congressman and senator, he was recognized for his focus on technology and environmental issues, notably sponsoring the High Performance Computing Act of 1991, which played a role in the expansion of the Internet. In 1992, he was chosen by Bill Clinton as his running mate, serving as the 45th Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. During his vice presidency, Gore was instrumental in initiatives like the GLOBE program and advocating for the Kyoto Protocol.
After narrowly losing the 2000 presidential election, Gore shifted his focus primarily to environmental advocacy. He gained significant global recognition for his efforts to raise awareness about global warming through his 2006 documentary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ and its companion book. This work earned him (jointly with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. He has since continued his work as an author, environmental activist, and businessman, co-founding Generation Investment Management and The Climate Reality Project, and serving as a partner at Kleiner Perkins, heading its climate change solutions group.
