Al Gore Shares Nobel Prize With U.N. Panel

I woke up really early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep (around 5 am), so I finally got up and went online to check The New York Times website. The above photo was the first thing I saw, with a quote from the Nobel Committee Chairman saying Al Gore was the greatest president the U.S. didn't elect, or something along those lines. Oddly enough, that part of the story is gone now from the text of the NY Times article. I do appreciate Big Al's quote though:

“We face a true planetary emergency,” Mr. Gore said in his statement. “The climate crisis is not a political issue; it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.”

Go Al, go!!! We really do need to lift the global consciousness to a much higher level. War is not the answer, and neither is greed, ignorance or delusion. I wish Al Gore would run for president again, but he's doing a lot of good outside of government, too.
