Hip, hip, hooray!
Former US Vice President Al Gore has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his climate campaign.
Gore had been nominated for his wide-ranging efforts to draw the world's attention to the dangers of global warming, a Norwegian politician said today.
“A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference,” said Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment in Norway.
Brende said he joined with a political opponent, Heidi Soerensen of the Socialist Left Party, to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier for the prize ahead of today’s nomination deadline.
