Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize!



(CNSNews.com) - Just as the buzz predicted, the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize is former Vice President of the United States Al Gore for spreading the word on global warming.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday that Gore would share the prize with the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which also blames human activity for warming the planet.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said in awarding this year's peace prize, it wanted to highlight the importance of battling climate change.

It praised the IPCC for its many reports over the years, which have "created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming."

The committee also praised Gore for being an early booster of human-caused global warming: "His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change," the Nobel committee said. "He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."
