NEW YORK (CNN) -- Former Vice President Al Gore said he has "fallen out of love with politics" and has no intentions of running for office again.
When asked why he wouldn't run for president again -- when presumably a president could shape an agenda to fight global warming -- Gore said those in power must have the support of the people to make it work.
"The key players are the American people," he said. "When the American people have the awareness of what this means for their children, and for their grandchildren, that all of civilization is at risk here, then they will demand that whoever is running for office, whoever is elected to serve, will have to respond to this."
Despite Gore's stance, many grassroots movements, with Web sites such as AlGore.org and draftgore2008.org, are trying persuade him to run.
"Americans from every corner of our nation are calling on you," reads a petition on Draftgore.com. "Please listen to our plea and run for the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States in 2008." The petition has has nearly 100,000 signatures.

Algore is CERTIFIABLE!!
Global warming IS probably for real.....otherwise we would still be in the ICE AGE!!! Geesh....
That’s what I think. I expect him to be their nominee. I don’t think Hillary is electable. I don’t think Shamu would even pick her as VP.
“What if global warmings for real? Theres lots of data out there.”
If you are a liberal you are supposed to believe that global warming is real and it’s going to kill us all if we don’t do something quick. If you are conservative you are supposed to believe that global warming is a scam. You’re a conservative, right? So why even ask that question? There are plenty of talking points you can find all over the net supporting either position and tearing down the other. Don’t ask silly questions, just find the appropriate talking points and go from there.

What happened before humans came along? It would appear that the Earth took care of itself, even way back then.
LOL, you win the prize for the best response to my original question.
Al could run as both a Democrat and a “Green” at the same time.
LOL!!
Read post 46. You got your information from the mainstream media their motto is “Why tell the truth if I can lie?”
That’s too bad. He and Ralph would make a great Green Party ticket for ‘08.
LOLOL!
I’d say zat’s good! ;o)
And we don’t like you either, Al.
Yep, and we'll happily discard those old polluters, just as soon as the matter-antimatter reactor units are compact enough to squeeze under the hood of a sports car.
