Al Gore Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize


While pResident Bush threatens world peace and strikes fear in our hearts with his bullish threats and brute force directed at Iran, the man who should be in the White House is a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Raw Story reports: "Former US vice president Al Gore is seen as a possible winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to save the planet from global warming, the head of the Oslo Peace Research Institute has said.

Two Norwegian members of parliament have nominated Al Gore jointly with Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a Canadian who represents more than 150,000 fellow Inuits in the Inuit Circumpolar Conference and who has campaigned to draw attention to climate change in the Arctic.

The former US vice president is currently criss-crossing the globe with his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", a hard-hitting rallying cry against global environmental catastrophe."
