The news just went up on the nobelpeaceprize.org - Al Gore (along with the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change) has won the Nobel Peace Prize!
No neo-con US Supreme Court was able to get in the way of this.
Whatever the specifics of global warming, Al Gore deserves enormous credit for coaxing the world to think of itself in global terms. He was able to do this, after going through the extraordinary ordeal of winning the popular vote for US President in 2000, and not becoming President.
It is rare that history provides an opportunity to remedy such an error.
I hope Al Gore gives the American people a chance to correct it.
