Al Gore traveled to Norway this weekend to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to fight global warming.
The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was jointly awarded in October to 59-year-old Gore and to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN body of 3,000 scientists, for their work in highlighting global warming.
The film “An Inconvenient Truth”, showed Al Gore as he highlighted many of the dangers of global warming and what damage had already been done by mans disregard for the world in which we live. He also wrote the book by the same name that became a New York Times Bestseller.
