Transitions — Albert Gore
Al Gore, Vice-president in the first & second Clinton administrations, and activist in the climate change debate, has been awarded part of this year’s Nobel Peace prize! The Nobel selection committee praised Mr. Gore as "probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted".
He shares the award with the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was chosen for "their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change".
