Al Gore shares the Nobel Prize with the UN’s
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of thousands of scientists.

Al Gore appeared in the Oscar-winning documentary, An
Inconvenient Truth, in an effort to focus the public’s attention on the dangers of global warming. Here’s what the Nobel Committee said:

"His 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."
