Last week, Al Gore, the former US vice-president was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. For many years now, even prior to his presidential defeat by Bush, Al Gore has been a strong and public advocate of environmental awareness and more recently, for climate change and the dramatic effect it is having on our planet. It’s a brilliant thing that his incredible efforts have received such high recognition and I want to encourage everyone, if you haven’t already, to check out “An Inconvenient Truth” - Al Gore’s Oscar winning documentary film on climate change. Be aware and take action people!
