New award for climate-change campaigner Gore

Agence France-Presse

STOCKHOLM - Al Gore picked up his latest award for campaigning on climate change issues when he was handed the Gothenburg Prize for sustainable development Tuesday, organizers said.

The former United States vice-president and co-winner of the 2007 Nobel peace award, alongside the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), was handed his prize by Crown Princess Victoria, heir to King Carl XVI Gustaf's throne.

"Like no other person, he has called on mankind to save the planet," event spokesman Stefan Gadd told AFP after a ceremony attended by over 6,000 people in the south-western city.

Congratulations to Nobel laureate Gore on receiving this prize for his work on the climate crisis. His new book, The Path To Survival is due to be released in about four months, and I can't wait.

5. Must this be done in every thread about him?
Can't people be happy for the man and his accomplishments? I'm so sorry he isn't what you want him to be and as such is so unworthy of support.
