I know Gore is not loved by everyone, but I didn't think I could continue posting articles on climate change without acknowledging the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their work to disseminate information on the issue. It is an awesome acceptance of the global significance of the problem and that if measures are not taken to understand and mitigate and to face the problem and its solutions, that it will be an issue of international conflict. Those are my first thoughts on the topic, I'm attaching a link to the article as reference. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/13/world/13nobel.html?ex=1207800000&en=a09d6d4a2d4bb2ed&ei=5087&excamp=GGGNalgorepeaceprize&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=GN-S-E-GG-SEM-KP-1055490488-S-NA-al_gore_peace_prize
