Gore: Peace Prize ‘Just the Beginning’
C hid len g es
w o rld on
clim ate crisis
(A P ) — Former Vice President
Al Gore, newly named co-w in­
ner of the Nobel Peace Prize,
said he hopes the honor will
"elevate global consciousness”
about the challenges o f global
warming.
G ore, w hose docum entary
“An Inconvenient Truth,” won
an Academy Award earlier this
year, was awarded the prize Fri­
day along with an international
network of scientists for spread­
ing awareness of man-made cli­
mate change and laying the foun­
dations for counteracting it.
Shortly after the announce­
ment, he pledged to donate his
share of the $1.5 m illion prize
money to the Alliance for C li­
mate Protection, a bipartisan
nonprofit organization that is
devoted to changing public
opinion worldwide about the ur­
gency o f solving the climate
crisis.
"This is just the beginning,”
Gore said. “Now is the time to
elevate global consciousness
about the challenges that we
face.”

his wife Tipper looks on in Palo Alto, Calif. Friday after winning
the 2 0 0 7 Nobel Peace Prize. (AP photo)

efforts that have traditionally
been the aw ard's foundations.
"We face a true planetary em er­
gency," Gore said. "The clim ate
crisis is not a political issue, it is
a moral and spiritual challenge to
all o f hum anity."
The Nobel com m ittee chair­
man, Ole Danbolt Mjoes, asserted
that the prize was not aimed at the

“ We w ould e n c o u ra g e all
countries, including the big coun­
tries, to challenge, all of them, to
think again and to say what can
they do to conquer global w arm ­
ing," Mjoes said. "The bigger the
powers, the better that they come
in front o f this."
Two Gore advisers, speaking
on condition of anonymity be­
cause they are not authorized to
share his thinking, said the award
will not make it any more likely
that he will seek the presidency in
2008. If anything, the Peace Prize
makes the rough-and-tum ble o f a
presidential race less appealing
to Gore, they said, because now
he has a huge, international plat­
form to fight global warming and
may not want to do anything to
dim inish it.
One o f the advisers said that
while Gore is unlikely to rule out
a bid in the coming days, the
prospects o f the form er vice
president entering the fray in 2008
are "extrem ely remote."
"Perhaps winning the Nobel and
being viewed as a prophet in his
own time w ill be sufficient,” said
Kenneth Sherrill, apolitical analyst
at Hunter College in New York.
Gore, who was an advocate of
stem m ing clim ate change and
global warning well before his
eight years as vice president,
called the award meaningful be­
cause o f his co-w inner, calling
the U .N .'s Intergovernm ental
Panel on Clim ate Change the
“w orld's pre-eminent scientific
body devoted to im proving our
understanding of the clim ate cri­
sis.”
In its citation, the committee
lauded G ore’s struggle against
clim ate change, saying "He is
probably the single individual
who has done most to create
greater worldwide understanding
of the measures that need to be
adopted."
