Al Gore is going to announce he is running for President within a week of him to returning to the US after Bali. He is going to receive the Nobel Prize and so will be all over the news for 2 days. CNN is having a whole with Gore immediately after the ceremony.
Gore then flies to Germany and then Bali to give the keynote address. He has publicly called Kyoto to expire in 2010 rather then 2012. Guess what? Whatever Gore wants he will get at Bali and so when he also gets agreemenet to mandatory targets then the world's media will say, 'Al has saved the world!' and then he will return home and annouce that his faith in politics is restored and so he's running for President on a joint ticket with Obama. In those filing states where Gore doesnt have his paperwork in primary voters can vote for the Obama ticket and those delegates will vote for Gore.
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO!

Al Gore in Norway to receive Nobel
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore(L) and his wife Tipper arrive at Oslo Airport. Al Gore, who is in Norway to receive his Nobel Peace Prize, immediately displayed his green credentials by choosing to take an airport shuttle rather than a limousine to travel into Oslo city centre.
Al Gore arrived in Norway on Friday to receive his Nobel Peace Prize, immediately displaying his green credentials by taking an airport shuttle rather than a limousine to travel into Oslo's city centre.
The man who used to be the next president of the United States, as he jokingly calls himself in his "An Inconvenient Truth" film about climate change, flew in with family members ahead of Monday's ceremony, television showed.
Arriving on a commercial flight, Gore and his entourage then hopped on the high-speed train.
"Our friends here in Norway have told us that leaving aside the fact that it's a great environmental symbol, it's actually quicker and better," he told Norwegian television, with his wife Tipper standing by his side.
"So in that sense it's a metaphor for the challenge the world community now must confront... Some of the new steps that are good for the environment are going to improve our lives in other ways," he said.
The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was jointly awarded in October to 59-year-old Gore and to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN body of 3,000 scientists, for their work in highlighting global warming.
The winners will receive their 10-million-Swedish-kronor (1.5-million-dollar, 1.1-million-euro) prize from Ole Mjoes, head of the five-member Nobel committee, at Monday's ceremony.
Indian scientist Rajendra Pachauri, IPCC chairman, will receive the award on behalf of the panel.
Announcing the prize on October 12, Mjoes said Gore was "probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."
Gore on Friday reiterated the link between the fight against climate change and peace.
"There are now millions of climate refugees in the world who have been forced to leave their ancient homes and move in to areas already occupied by others," he said, citing the case of Darfur.
"The increasing struggle for declining natural resources like water ... leads to the increased potential for conflict," he said.
An international conference underway in Bali ought to lay the groundwork for a "much tougher" climate change pact that would enter in force in 2010, two years ahead of schedule, he said.
Delegates from nearly 190 nations are gathered for the December 3-14 summit in Bali which is tasked with laying the groundwork for a new treaty to tackle global warming beyond 2012, when the Kyoto Protocol's first phase expires.
The United States, the world's biggest CO2 polluter along with China, "should be the natural leader in this challenge," Gore added.
US President George W. Bush, who defeated Gore in 2000 elections for the White House, has rejected the Kyoto Protocol that Gore negotiated while he was vice president under Bill Clinton.
Gore said nonetheless he saw "very positive signs" and cited the numerous US cities and states that have set their own CO2 emission targets.

| Gore Takes Train From Oslo Airport, Luggage Takes Mercedes By Noel Sheppard | December 8, 2007 - 11:41 ET Friday's adoring Associated Press piece concerning Nobel Laureate Al Gore's noble decision to take the train from the Oslo airport rather than the traditional motorcade to his hotel neglected something else besides the huge amount of carbon dioxide being emitted by the Global Warmingist-in-Chief: his luggage! After all, Gore and wife Tipper aren't going to wear the same clothes this entire trip they wore on the plane, right? So, where was all their baggage as the couple took the train? Well, according to the Norwegian website VG Nett, Gore's luggage went by Mercedes van (h/t NB reader in Norway Trond Ruud who supplied the following translation): Headline: Here the climate conscious Al Gore takes the public train, but his luggage is transported in a Mercedes Picture caption: Peace Prize laureate Al Gore and his wife Tipper are having a nice trip on the airport express train. On the motorway, their luggage is being whisked to Oslo in a Mercedes van. Together with the Leader of the Nobel Institute, Geir Lundestad and the Nobel Committee Leader, Ole Danbolt Mjoes, they took the Airport Express train from Gardermoen airport to the National Theatre station in Oslo. Never before, has a Peace Prize laureate chosen this mode of travel. I was told that the Express Train, was both faster and more comfortable, so it was an easy choice. And trains are symbols of environmental consciousness, a vigourous Gore, told the press corps. Much Luggage Leader of the Nobel Ceremony arrangements, Sigrid Langebrekke from the Norwegian Nobel Institute, said they had to use a Mercedes van to handle all the luggage. She says, that all cars being used during the Nobel Ceremony have high environmental standard. Story Continues Below Ad ? Do you think his luggage bought carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gases emitted on the trip from the airport? Honestly, would it have been too much like journalism for the AP to inquire about where Gore's luggage was, or might that have interfered with the agenda?

Gore, UN panel to accept Nobel Prize
By DOUG MELLGREN, Associated Press Writer
Al Gore said the Nobel Peace Prize he accepts Monday already has helped draw the world's attention to global warming and he expressed optimism that growing public pressure would push governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
The former vice president shares the prize with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which will be represented at Monday's award ceremony by its leader, Rajendra Pachauri.
A day before accepting the prize, Gore said reducing greenhouse gases was essential to fighting the "planetary emergency" of global warming. "That phrase may sound shrill to some ears but it is accurate," he said.
"It is a question of the survival of our civilization," Gore told reporters at the Nobel Institute in downtown Oslo. "CO2 increases anywhere are a threat to the future of civilization everywhere."
Gore and Pachauri receive the award at a gala ceremony in Oslo's city hall before Norwegian royalty, leaders and invited guests. The other Nobel awards in medicine, chemistry, physics, literature and economics were to be presented at a separate ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.
The peace prize ceremony comes as governments are meeting in Bali, Indonesia, to start work on a tougher treaty to succeed the Kyoto climate pact by 2012.
Gore, who has urged the countries to speed up that timetable by two years, said increasing awareness was spurring "the world's first people power movement" on climate change. That could force political leaders to take action, he said.
"They have to find some courage to resist the special interests, the special fears, the concern that often have wider influences than they should and instead respect the demands of the human future," Gore said.
This year's Nobel Peace Prize is part of that process, Gore said, because it "has already caused increased attention to the problem of moving along to solve the crisis of climate."
Pachauri warned that new data since the U.N. climate panel's last report led him to fear that "the future could very well be far more dire than we believe it is today." He said people must be prepared to change to way they live.
"I don't think this means we have to go back to living in caves but lifestyle change means you have to be conscious of the impact of your actions," Pachauri said.
Gore and Pachauri arrive at the ceremony from an audience at the royal palace with Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja. Both winners plan to fly to Bali on Wednesday to join the climate talks.
In Stockholm, the science laureates receive their awards from Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf before being treated to a white-tie banquet at City Hall.
The 2007 awards in medicine, chemistry and physics honored breakthroughs in stem cell research on mice, solid-surface chemistry and the discovery of a phenomenon that lets computers and digital music players store reams of data on ever-shrinking hard disks.
Three Americans shared the economics award for their work for developing a theory that helps explain how sellers and buyers can maximize their gains from a transaction.
One of the economics winners, Leonid Hurwicz, 90 the oldest Nobel laureate ever could not travel to Stockholm and will accept his award later in Minnesota.
The literature prize winner, 88-year-old British writer Doris Lessing, also could not make it and will receive her award later in London.
Each Nobel Prize includes a gold medal, a diploma and a $1.6 million cash award.
The prizes, first awarded in 1901, are always presented Dec. 10, the anniversary of the death of their creator, Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel.
