A prominent environmental activist, he was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize (together with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) for the "efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."[1]

The theft of the White House from Al Gore created a new chapter in the American cultural pantheon. Most everyone now knows about butterfly ballots and hanging chads. The winning of the Oscar by a former Vice President of the United States is another chapter. A global concert event 2 decades after Live Aid is another. Sharing the Nobel Peace Prize for an environmental project with the greatest scientific minds in the world is yet another!

The Climate Project, founded by former Vice President Al Gore, works to educate and challenge citizens and governments on the growing crisis of global warming. The funds donated by Wal-Mart will be used to assist The Climate Project initiatives, including providing education on the effects of global warming through research and citizen action programs in communities across the country. The Project's first initiative is to train 1,000 lecturers, who will share information on the subject to audiences across America.

Initially, Al Gore was touted as the most logical opponent of George W. Bush in the 2004 United States Presidential Election. "Re-elect Gore!" was a common slogan among many Democrats who felt the former Vice President had been unfairly cheated out of the presidency, on the grounds that he had won the popular vote and (in the opinion of some) should have won the Electoral College vote. On December 16, 2002 ... Gore announced that he would not run in 2004, saying that it was time for "fresh faces" and "new ideas" to emerge from the Democrats. When he appeared on a 60 Minutes interview, Gore said that he felt if he had run, the focus of the election would be the rematch rather than the issues. Gore's former running mate, Joe Lieberman quickly announced his own candidacy for the presidency, which he had vowed he would not do if Gore ran.
