It’s Official – Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize

by John P.

Al Gore Wins Nobel PrizeFolks, I’ve been saying that if you haven’t already, you NEED to see An Inconvenient Truth. If it doesn’t change the way you look at the world, then you probably have no heart. (Grin!)

I also previously reported that Gore had been Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. This is not just because he made a movie and won an Oscar, it’s because he has devoted his private life to the cause of climate change – and like it or not many, many, many people happen to agree with him and are happy he is carrying out this work.

So, today Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2007 along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC):

“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”

It’s too early to see the announcement on video, but Nobel has a YouTube channel which will no doubt post the video of this announcement shortly. View it here.

A Beginner’s Guide to Giving a Damn About Climate Change

July 7, 2007

I came across this great little video called “A Beginner’s Guide to Giving a Damn About Climate Change”. I think it was somehow associated with the Live Earth event. Anyway, the premise of the video is things you can do without actually changing the way you live your life. Despite the use of the word [...]

Best Argument I’ve Heard to Take Global Warming Seriously

June 28, 2007

I think by now everyone knows what side of the environmental debate I’m on. And I’m aware that I have friends and relatives that still have differing opinions on the matter. When we discuss it I normally argue that the consequences of being wrong about global warming are potentially far, far worse than the cost [...]

Other titles I considered: Florida Man Saves the World Man Cures Cancer and Solves Energy Crisis With One Invention Accidental Discovery Eliminates Need for Oil Saltwater Combustion – The Incredible Energy [...]
