Despite the nine mistakes in the Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore is doing something to bring wider awareness of our human costs to the pollution we make in our daily lives on the Earth's eco-systems. Whether you like it or not, he's a Nobel winner. For some the irony couldn't be more cutting.... I wonder what the Republicans will have to say :p

Gore and UN panel win Nobel prize

_44172046_gore_b203_afp.jpg
Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth was an unlikely box office hit

Climate change campaigner Al Gore and the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have been jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Mr Gore, 59, was vice-president under Bill Clinton and has since devoted his efforts to environmental campaigning.
The UN's IPCC, comprising 3,000 leading climate scientists, is the world's top authority on global warming.
The Nobel committee said it wanted to help the world focus on the threat it faced from climate change. Announcing the winners, the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Ole Danbolt Mjoes, said they had been chosen "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". The Nobel committee closely guards the names of nominees, but this year speculation was high that the recipient would be linked to climate change campaigns.

Leave Al Alone!!!!!!!! Al is the best man in the world! Don't you have better things to do!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:


Ok, now that the crocker reference is out of the way. Seriously, he's a pretty good guy, that's done a lot for the cause of environmentalism, something that seriously needs more attention, before we turn our blue marble into... Well... A bluer hotter marble...
 
he could be your next president

now that he has a nobel prize
 
An Oscar, an Emmy and now the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's certainly Al's year.

I'm glad for him. He may have run a lousy presidential campaign, but he's a good man and truly dedicated yo ecology.

I do wish he'd run again, but only if he hires a winning campaign staff and speaks his mind.
 
Well of course there is a lot eye rolling coming from the Republicans.
After all they claim, it's political and not merit based.
Global warming is still up to debate, is it man-made or just the natural order of things. Some would argue that the world is supposed to work this way over the course of hundreds of thousands of years. I believe The Republicans would have us believe that because there are too many questions in that regard, and in fact it may have been irresponsible for Gore to win the award.

Of course the Republicans are seeing this after Jiminy Carter, a very fervent Bush critic, who in 2002 won the prize, and this year Al Gore wins it. So they may see it a slap against the Bush administration and it's policies.

As for the political aspect of Gore winning, it could be construed that the Nobel Peace prize is politically motivated in the sense that the committee would give Gore the prize in order to give him more credibility to run for president.

Well, too bad, too sad, Gore won the prize and the Republicans can just suck it.
 
I'm incredibly proud of him. I do not believe he intends to run, but I just donated a little more to his campaign just the same.

Damned impressive fellow. I didn't vote for him the last time, but I wouldn't make that mistake again.

Congrats, VP, Al Gore!:=D:
 
I don't particularly care for him...I cannot stand to listen to his voice, and didn't Arafat get that prize too?
 
Gore definitely screwed up when he stated he invented the Internet. He would have been point on to say he was a key part of the development.
Of course the man who beat Gore to the presidency is way more articulate and has never lied to us.
At election time Gore was credited with being too stiff both physically and verbally.
Apparently, for many people, image is more important than brain power when it comes to presidential candidates.
Presidential ability, appearance and intelligence should probably be in a People Magazines "50 Most" issue.
 
Gore's recognition just proves again how America was screwed in the 2000 election.

Woe unto us.
