We awoke this morning to the news that Washington Post reported the following:
Friday, October 12, 2007; 8:32 AM – Gore, U.N. Body Win Nobel Peace Prize
‘Former vice president Al Gore and a United Nations panel that monitors climate change were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today for their work educating the world about global warming and advocating for political action to control it.’
‘The Norwegian Nobel Committee characterized Gore as “the single individual who has done most” to convince world governments and leaders that climate change is real, is caused by human activity, and poses a grave threat. Gore has focused on the issue through books, promotional events and his Academy Award-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”‘
Thank dog. With the current state of snotty, ignorant, arrogant naysayers, it is always refreshing to find instances of intelligent life on this planet. One of the purposes of this blog is to identify any evidence that we are not alone in a world of morons. While this is not like the ending of Revenge of the Nerds, it is some clue that there is hope, that evolution has not stopped, and that is a good thing. Ha!
