We have the ability to do this. Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each of us can make choices to change that. With the things we buy, the electricity we use, the cars we drive, we can make choices to bring our individual carbon emissions to zero. The solutions are in our hands. We just have to have the determination to make them happen. Are we gonna be left behind as the rest of the world moves forward? [on the screen behind him, a list of countries appears] Al Gore:
All of these nations have ratified Kyoto. There are only two advanced nations in the world that have not ratified Kyoto, and we are one of them. The other is Australia. [on the screen, a map of the United States is shown] Al Gore:

Pennsylvania is exercising leadership on solar power and wind power. And U.S. cities are stepping up to the plate. [on the screen, a list of cities appears, to applause] Al Gore:
