After winning Oscar many think Gore deserves Nobel Peace Prize next for his global warming work
February 27, 2007
(AP) -- First a Oscar for Former Vice President Al Gore who also has been nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his wide-reaching efforts to draw the world's attention to the dangers of global warming.
"A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference," Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.
Brende said he joined political opponent Heidi Soerensen, of the Socialist Left Party, to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier.
"Al Gore, like no other, has put climate change on the agenda. Gore uses his position to get politicians to understand, while Sheila [Watt-Cloutier] works from the ground up," Brende said.
During eight years as Bill Clinton's vice president, Gore pushed for climate measures, including for the Kyoto Treaty, and after leaving office in 2001
Gore has campaigned worldwide, talking about his Oscar winning documentary on climate change called "An Inconvenient Truth."
Watt-Cloutier won Norway's 2005 Sophie environment prize in 2005 for drawing attention to the effect of climate change and pollution on the traditional lifestyles of the Arctic's indigenous people and others.
