He won the popular vote in 2000 and still lost the presidency - one of five candidates in American history to do so. The Supreme Court decided it 5-4, and he stepped aside. Then he became the face of climate change activism and won a Nobel.

About this person

Albert Arnold Gore Jr. was born March 31, 1948, the son of politician Albert Gore Sr., and raised between Tennessee and Washington, D.C. After Harvard and a stint in the U.S. Army, he quit law school to run for Tennessee's 4th congressional district in 1976, won, and served until 1985 when he moved to the Senate. Considered a moderate "Atari Democrat," he was tapped as Bill Clinton's running mate in 1992 and became the 45th vice president, serving two full terms - the first Democrat to do so since John Nance Garner. In 2000 he ran for president, won the popular vote by 543,895 votes, but lost the Electoral College by five votes after Bush v. Gore ended the Florida recount. After 2001 he pivoted hard into climate activism: founded The Climate Reality Project, co-founded Generation Investment Management, joined Kleiner Perkins' climate solutions group, and became the subject of An Inconvenient Truth, which won an Academy Award in 2007. That same year he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the IPCC.
