Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize for work on climate change

Congratulations to Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for claiming the Nobel Peace Prize. Gore has been a widely-visible spokesman for the climate change cause. The IPCC is a central repository for climate change research that collects and organizes the results of all climate change research, and then compiles plain-language summaries for the World's governments. Although the work of Gore and the IPCC is largely scientific, the work was viewed as an act of peace based on its intergovernmental nature. link

There are persuasive arguments to debunk Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth. The film may contain some partial and convenient facts (link), but the science of the matter is conclusive. The Earth is getting warmer and we are the cause. link
