Former Vice President Al Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo today for their work to help combat global warming. At a press conference ahead of the awards ceremony, Gore said the survival of our civilization is at risk.

Al Gore: “One of the Nobel laureates, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said twenty years ago and more, that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. In the same way, CO2 increases anywhere are a threat to the future of civilization everywhere.”
