Nobel Peace Prize for Al Gore and IPCC

We salute Al gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for winning this prestigious award for continuing the battle to fight global warming. An inconvenient truth documentary yields to this Nobel Peace award. Google.org also recognize this participation.

Excerpt from the press release,

"Indications of changes in the earth's future climate must be treated with the utmost seriousness, and with the precautionary principle uppermost in our minds. Extensive climate changes may alter and threaten the living conditions of much of mankind. They may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states...the Norwegian Nobel Committee is seeking to contribute to a sharper focus on the processes and decisions that appear to be necessary to protect the world’s future climate, and thereby to reduce the threat to the security of mankind. Action is necessary now, before climate change moves beyond man’s control."
