Defeat Brings Opportunity
Al Gore, accepting the Nobel Prize, called his loss for president painful, but a "precious gift" that led to his immersion in the fight to stop global warning.
Thursday, December 6, 2007
Former vice president Al Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway, on Dec. 10. He shared the award with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, according to 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."
Read Gore's Nobel lecture and see a video at Nobel Website.
Tell us what you think about what Gore said, and if you believe global warming is an issue of concern.
