Way to go Al!

Now announce for President

Woo-Hoo...Way to Go, Mr. President!!!....Yippee Kai Yay!!! Now, RUN!!!!....P L E A S E!!!!

Al shares the award with the IPCC-the international panel on climate control

BooBoo Girl - you beat me to the punch!! Woo-hoo!! Yeah for Al Gore!! Now please, pretty please run for President!!! :good: :clap: :good: :clap:

CNN doing a LIVE broadcast on it now.

I'm just one big lump of goose bumps!!!!

Yeah, I saw it. The only part I didn't like was when the guy (from Houston, I believe) made the comment about how he thought Al was still "wooden" and "boring." I was so pissed. Some people are sooo threatened by him.

I hope he announces and wins by a landslide!!!!

Thinkin'...maybe some Hillary supporters will have second thoughts & jump ship to help the Draft movement!

If there is a fair vote, the people have the power to change mankind and history

Wow. This is awesome. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

MSNBC reported that Gore's reaction upon being notified that he was the winner was that he would run only if the Iowa primary would be held in Stockholm.

What does that mean??

I am so happy for him! Yay for Al and yay for the Planet!!

It means he's not running, because the Iowa primary will be held in Iowa. Stockholm is the city where the Nobel Prizes are awarded in December.

If I weren't at work in a Dilbertesque cubicle right now, I would be openly crying tears of joy! I feel that the Nobel Peace Prize couldn't have gone to a more deserving person and I'm just so thankful that Al Gore has received this great, great honor for all his tireless, powerful, visionary, effective work on the most profoundly important issue of our time. As he says, global climate change is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual one. And it is about peace, because making the daily choices to live a greener lifestyle means making daily choices to treat the earth which sustains us with respect and reverence, and in so doing, one can't help but become a more respectful and reverent human being, and hopefully that will translate into how we treat each other, too. But in any event, "going green" definitely translates into acting in a manner of deep respect and caring towards the earth, in a manner of peace. Again, this great honor could not have gone to anyone more deserving and I just HAVE to end by saying that I hope this will indeed spur Al Gore into running for president. The country, the world, and the planet desperately need to turn to and choose the respectful, peaceful ways Gore so passionately and capably leads us toward.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I heard the news today....OH, BOY !!!!!!! This was a very nice way to wake up this morning.

Hmm, I wonder how many ex-Republican presidents have won Nobel Prizes... :rolleyes:

It's also something that can never be taken away, and something most people(rightwing zealots aside) value.
So thoughout history it will be next to his and Jimmy Carter's name.

BIG CONGRATS to out man, Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore!!!

Congratulations Mr. Gore. The USA is proud to be associated with you and your work. Bravo!

Congratulation's to Al Gore on winning the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007. No one can take this honor away from you!

Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize! Thank you for what you have done to try and save our environment. I hope that you run for President.

And how cool is it that AG will be donating his Nobel prize money--a mil and a half---to a green charity?!
(Of course most of the MSM will purposely refrain from reporting this fact <_< )
The man should be bestowed with the title of 'Saint' :good:

Well worth staying up till 2AM for, no one more was more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than PRESIDENT AL GORE. Best news I've heard in a long time, now if he would just announce he's running for president.

It doesn't surprise me that AL donated his share of the money. AL GORE is the most decent and caring man to ever live. There is no one like him and there never will be. We need this great and honorable man as our next president.

Al Gore, UN Panel share Nobel for peace

By DOUG MELLGREN and MATT MOORE, Associated Press Writers

Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s climate change panel won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for spreading awareness of man-made climate change and laying the foundations for counteracting it.

Gore, whose film on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Academy Award earlier this year, had been widely tipped to win Friday's prize, which expanded the Norwegian committee's interpretation of peacemaking and disarmament efforts that have traditionally been the award's foundations.

"We face a true planetary emergency," Gore said. "The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity."

The Nobel committee chairman, Ole Danbolt Mjoes, asserted that the prize was not aimed at the Bush administration, which rejected Kyoto and was widely criticized outside the U.S. for not taking global warming seriously enough.

"We would encourage all countries, including the big countries, to challenge, all of them, to think again and to say what can they do to conquer global warming," Mjoes said. "The bigger the powers, the better that they come in front of this."

Two Gore advisers, speaking on condition of anonymity because 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-tumble of a presidential race less appealing to Gore, they said, because now he has a huge, international platform to fight global warming and may not want to do anything to diminish it.

One of the advisers said that while Gore is unlikely to rule out a bid in the coming days, the prospects of the former vice president entering the fray in 2008 are "extremely remote."

"Perhaps winning the Nobel and being viewed as a prophet in his own time will be sufficient," said Kenneth Sherrill, a political analyst at Hunter College in New York.

Gore, who was an advocate of stemming climate change and global warning well before his eight years as vice president, called the award meaningful because of his co-winner, calling the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the "world's pre-eminent scientific body devoted to improving our understanding of the climate crisis."

Gore plans to donate his half of the $1.5 million prize money to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan nonprofit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion worldwide about the urgency of solving the climate crisis.

In its citation, the committee lauded Gore's "strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."

The last American to win the prize, or share it, was former President Carter, who won it 2002.

At the time, then committee chairman Gunnar Berge called the prize "a kick in the leg" to the Bush administration for its threats of war against Iraq. In response, some members of the secretive committee criticized Berge for expressing personal views in the panel's name.

Mjoes, elected to succeed Berge a few months later, referred to that dispute on Friday, saying the committee "has never given a kick in the leg to anyone."

The White House said the prize was not seen as increasing pressure on the administration or showing that President Bush's approach missed the mark.

"Of course he's happy for Vice President Gore," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "He's happy for the international panel on climate change scientists who also shared the peace prize. Obviously it's an important recognition."

Fratto said Bush has no plans to call Gore.

Eighty-four percent in the U.S. believe world temperatures are rising, according to a poll last month by The Associated Press and Stanford University's Woods Institute for the Environment. Yet while about seven in 10 said they want strong public and private action to help the environment, fewer than one in 10 said they had seen such steps in the past year.

In its citation, the committee said that Gore "has for a long time been one of the world's leading environmentalist politicians" and cited his awareness at an early stage "of the climatic challenges the world is facing.

The committee cited the IPCC for its two decades of scientific reports that have "created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming. Thousands of scientists and officials from over 100 countries have collaborated to achieve greater certainty as to the scale of the warming."

It went on to say that because of the panel's efforts, global warming has been increasingly recognized. In the 1980s it "seemed to be merely an interesting hypothesis, the 1990s produced firmer evidence in its support. In the last few years, the connections have become even clearer and the consequences still more apparent."

Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC chairman, said he and Gore really had 2,000 co-laureates — each of the scientists in the U.N. panel's research network.

"This award also thrusts a new responsibility on our shoulders," Pachauri said. "We have to do more, and we have many more miles to go."

But some questioned the prize decision.

"Awarding it to Al Gore cannot be seen as anything other than a political statement. Awarding it to the IPCC is well-founded," said Bjorn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist.

He criticized Gore's film as having "some very obvious mistakes, like the argument that we're going to see six meters of sea-level rise," he said.

"They (Nobel committee) have a unique platform in getting people's attention on this issue, and I regret they have used it to make a political statement."

In his 1895 will creating the prize, the Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel said it should be awarded for efforts toward peacemaking and disarmament, and the award now often also recognizes human rights, democracy, elimination of poverty, sharing resources and the environment. Last year, for example, it went to the Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank for pioneering the use of microcredit to spur creation of small businesses in poor nations.

Jan Egeland, a Norwegian peace mediator and former senior U.N. official for humanitarian affairs, called climate change more than an environmental issue.

"It is a question of war and peace," said Egeland, now director of the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs in Oslo. "We're already seeing the first climate wars, in the Sahel belt of Africa." He said nomads and herders are in conflict with farmers because the changing climate has brought drought and a shortage of fertile lands.

Congratulations Al
and my deepest thanks for all that you do

:clap: :clap: :clap:

:bow:

congratulations, Mr. Gore!!!

Bjorn Dumborg should read the IPCC report because Gore quoted it nearly verbatim. Another slam from those suffering from GORE-ENVY.

Keep trying to profit off the climate crisis by producing denial books and bashing Gore, Dumborg. Your greedy intentions are transparent. You're a member of the GORE-ENVY smearsters. Congratulations.

The jealousy is hilarious!!!!!

"Fratto said Bush has no plans to call Gore."

Of course not--would you call someone you'd stolen something from.....someone who's so much better, smarter, honorable, than you?

The slime is running to hide in his dark little corner with his fellow cockroaches hoping this blows over real soon--it makes him look SOOOOOOO bad, especially since he used to deny the fact of global warming like the idiot he is :mad:

(Sorry to darken this glowing thread of great news with mention of the horrid slimebush)

Keep the good work, many will be awakened especially we Americans who consume non-stop. congratualations and wish you many more victories.

Good job Al!! Now run!!!

Hillary Clinton's lead in the race for the White House is now so formidable that, even with his Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore considers her unbeatable, according to his former campaign aides.

Please consider that the telegraph is a hopelessly ANTI-GORE fishwrap.

That's the last two days...............

:clap: :clap: ME TOO!!!

I have just finish reading the comments in "The Tenessean" about Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I am so ashamed of some Tennesseans. The republicans in Tennesee are the most vile that I have ever read. They call him names and still comment on the falsehoods of 2000. They know the truth, but when you are as mean as these people are, the lies suit them better. I hope Gore looks at the positive and the people as well as the country that need him. The GOP still look to Bush for their guidance, and this should tell you all that you need to know.

Dear Mr. Vice-President;

There's always going to be mud slinging, people talking bad about someone when they get an award, and also the people with their own agendas. No matter where you go I think it's part of "Politics's 101" class, plain old human nature, or something beyond my thinking. :lol:

The main part is that Mr. Gore you won one of the highest honors that a person can be given, and you did it with extreme honor donating the money. Case closed in my book no matter who says what! And I've never seen a person work so hard to get the truth out as you have. That's why you won the honor; no matter what anyone says about it or what names they call you. You won it, they didn't. Water off a ducks back. And they can't take it away from you by rigging any vote counts this time. Your a good man and an honorable man. One that's very deserving.

Mr. Gore; from my family to you and yours. We are so very proud of your accomplishments and the honor that you've been given. If you were to decide to toss your hat in the ring for 2008, you might be very surprised at the amount of support that you would get. Good honorable men and women are extremely hard to find in the political arena! I know because I'm writing them daily about items that are coming up for votes that would be good for our country. Too many times the decisions are made upon promises behind closed doors and not by how the voters and we little "common people" feel. Heck, they've already been voted in so why worry until it's election time again. I think it's a disease that spreads in Congress or something. Say one thing to get your vote and do another once you get in.

But Mr. Gore, for some reason I think you'd listen to what the "common people" have to say. So if you say you'll run, I'll devote full time working to get you there and call you "Dear Mr. President". No other job but just to work as many hours a day that it takes to get you there. It would be my honor, and I'm disabled with plenty of time. That's the deal I will offer from one honest person to another. Just tell me where I can help you. You've helped all of us so very much, and we're all so very proud of you!

Say your in and I'll say I'm in! PM me here or what ever they do and I'll work for you full time; gratis. My children's future depends on your kind of honor and truth. :good:

Me too!
