Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize today for his efforts to publicize the climate crisis. For those keeping score that is an Oscar for "An Inconvenient Truth", An Emmy for creating Current TV a network devoted to the environment, and now the Nobel Peace Prize. That's pretty amazing stuff for a guy who made his name in politics. The former vice president and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change jointly won the 2007 Peace Prize for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and to lay the foundations for fighting it. He has announced that he will be donating his portion of the award money to The Alliance, a non-profit group that he founded to help spread the global warming message.
The website Draftgore.com has nearly 200,000 signatures on their petition to get Gore to run for president. The Website also took out a full page ad in The New York Times to bring attention to their cause, see it here(PDF file).
