"Al Gore has been warning and educating us about the dangers of climate change for decades," Clinton, the U.S. president from 1993-2001, said in a statement.

"He saw this coming before others in public life and never stopped pushing for action to save our planet, even in the face of public indifference and attacks from those determined to defend the indefensible."

In 2000 Gore lost the closest presidential election in U.S. history after losing a Florida recount battle to Republican George W. Bush.

In the months leading up to the 2000 election, Gore distanced himself from President Clinton. Friends say he has good relations with Sen. Clinton and admires her.
