Al Gore
, the former U.S. vice president, and UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were awarded 2007 Nobel Peace Prize this morning by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, "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".
"I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize." Al Gore wrote in his blog, "We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level."
Al Gore also promised that he and his wife Tipper will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award (half of 10 million Swedish kronor – about $1.7 million) to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis.
Below is Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, about the climate crisis, won the Academy Award for best documentary and a recent Emmy award.
