Al Gore Awarded Nobel Peace Prize!




PRESS RELEASE

THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR 2007


The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.

Former Vice President Al Gore Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today, along with a United Nations panel that monitors climate change, for their work educating the world about global warming and advocating for political action to control it.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee characterized Gore as "the single individual who has done the most" to convince world governments and leaders that climate change is real, is caused by human activity, and poses a grave threat.

By awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 to the IPCC and Al Gore, the Norwegian Nobel Committee is seeking to contribute to a sharper focus on the processes and decisions that appear to be necessary to protect the world’s future climate, and thereby to reduce the threat to the security of mankind. Action is necessary now, before climate change moves beyond man’s control.

-Oslo, 12 October 2007


Time Magazine reports:


"An overwhelming majority of Americans - 90% of Democrats, 80% of independents, 60% of Republicans - now say they favor "immediate action" to confront the climate crisis." (That's an average of 84-percent of Americans who now believe global warming is real, anthropogenic in cause and requires our "immediate attention.")


The White House Response:


"Bush has no plans to call Gore."
