What is a gore in transportation?

In transportation, a "gore" refers to a triangular piece of land or space that is often formed by the intersection of two roads or highways. These areas are typically located between lanes or ramps and can serve various purposes, such as providing separation between traffic flows or accommodating signage. Gore areas are sometimes landscaped or left as open space, but they can also pose challenges for navigation and vehicle movement.

When did al gore state that he created the internet?

He didn't use the word invented, but On 9 March 1999, during an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN, Gore was asked what were the differences between himself from his opponent in the race for the nomination for President in 2000. His answer was, in part, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

In 1988 Al Gore sponsored the National High Performance Computer Act which created a national computing plan and began connecting other Universities and Libraries to the existing ARPANET network.

Then, Al Gore began to craft the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 (commonly referred to as "The Gore Bill") after hearing the 1988 report toward a National Research Network submitted to Congress by a group chaired by UCLA professor of computer science, Leonard Kleinrock, one of the central creators of the ARPANET (the ARPANET, first deployed by Kleinrock and others in 1969, is the predecessor of the Internet). The bill was passed on December 9, 1991 and led to the National Information Infrastructure (NII) which Gore referred to as the "information superhighway."

While it might have sounded like he was taking sole credit for the internet, he was indicating that he supported economic conditions in the US that would allow such new developments as the internet to take place in American society. He was, indeed, awarded a lifetime achievement award for contributions to the Internet in 2005.

Yes. Former Vice President Al Gore is a public supporter of same-sex marriage.

A January 23, 2008 New York Times article reports on a video Al Gore posted to his Current TV website in which he stated:

"I think it's wrong for the government to discriminate against people because of that person's sexual orientation," he says. "I think gay men and women ought to have the same rights as heterosexual men and women --- to make contracts, to have hospital visiting rights, to join together in marriage, and I don't understand why it is considered by some people to be a threat to heterosexual marriage."

Is global warming as bad as Al Gore says?

In some ways no. Al Gore is a communicator, not a scientist, and may have overstepped the mark in a few minor matters. The key points are correctly put, particularly that global warming is real, that it is substantially caused by human activities and that it bodes ill for the future of our world unless we take decisive action to stop it.

One claim in the film was that ice on Mount Kilimanjaro was receding as a direct result of recent global warming. In fact, local factors are more likely the main, or only, reason for that change. Some other claims may in time prove to be true, but were made in the film before scientists were sufficiently confident to support them. To be a commercial success, the film had to be, in part, entertainment, and shows emotional images that could be out of place in a pure documentary.

Where does Al Gore get his money?
