Nobel Peace Prize for Al Gore?

    I was searching the web today, when I came across this article about how Al Gore has just recently been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.  After watching his movie An Inconvenient Truth, I couldn’t help but read this article and I felt that it would be worthwhile to inform all of the rest of you on this news.

    Gore is being nominated for the Nobel Prize because of his efforts in trying to educate the public on how important it is that we are aware of how climate change is going to or could effect our lives.  He is trying to make a difference in our world by encouraging people to take action and do something about global warming before it’s too late.  “A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference,” said by Member of Parliament Boerge Brende.  Not only are his efforts from his work recently and with his documentary the reasons he is being recognized, but he is also being recognized for all of his efforts with this issue of global warming when he was Vice President.  Al Gore really was a huge contributor to many of the efforts that have been put forth since his time in office.  Gore will find out if he is the winner in October, but the prize will be presented on December 10, since that is the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.
