Congrats Al Gore

Al Gore and a U.N body was awarded the Nobel Peace Peace Prize for work on facing the issue of global warming.


Having been bestowed what may be the highest honor possible for political efforts, this award should greatly increase the credibility of those scientists and orators urging the need to reign in human effects on the environment. It should become more difficult for special interests to deny that climate change is occurring and rapidly accelerating. Curious to see if, how, and when Gore could reenter politics -- Hillary's running mate? A go at his own? The later seems unlikely. Suggested mandate to remedy global warming: mandatory telecommuting.
