Guest Harry Hope Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 From The Associated Press, 10/13/07: http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-newsbrief,0,1411218.story Gore: Award Puts Focus on Global Warming PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) -- He spent decades trying to get the world to listen and believe as he did that global warming would destroy the planet unless people changed their behavior, and fast. But after former Vice President Al Gore and a host of climate scientists were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for their warnings, Gore took only the briefest of bows on a live world stage. He avoided the issue of a U.S. presidential run to "get back to business" on "a planetary emergency." "For my part, I will be doing everything I can to try to understand how to best use the honor and the recognition from this award as a way of speeding up the change in awareness and the change in urgency," Gore said at the offices of the Alliance For Climate Protection, a nonprofit he founded last year to engage citizens in solving the problem. _______________________________________________ Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
