About Al Gore

Al Gore, ranked #427 in historical importance by the Pantheon project, is a significant political figure whose career culminated in his term as Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001, following his long tenure in the U.S. Senate. His high ranking is largely cemented by his subsequent, sustained global leadership in environmental advocacy, particularly regarding climate change, for which he shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Despite this high historical placement, Al Gore’s contemporary internet attention in 2025 reflects an overattention relative to his importance, garnering a +5x gap. He receives approximately 1.9 million annualized Wikipedia pageviews this year. For comparison, this is significantly less attention than contemporary politicians like George W. Bush, who ranks slightly higher in historical importance at #441 but attracts 7.4 million views, highlighting a modern focus that privileges recent political drama over sustained historical influence.

Further evidence of waning interest comes from his negative momentum metrics: his view count has dropped by 13.5% year-over-year, and the Q1 vs Q3 momentum shows a sharp decline of -32%, indicating that the current online conversation is quickly moving past his recent activities.
