Al Gore and IPCC Won the Nobel Peace Prize

Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for their work raising awareness about global warming. The Nobel committee cited them "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." The IPCC and Gore will each get a gold medal, a diploma and a share of $1.5 million. The award ceremony will be held December 10 in Oslo, Norway.
