Statement of Former President Bill Clinton on Al Gore Winning the Nobel Peace Prize
October 12, 2007, New York, NY -- Statement of former President Bill Clinton on Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize:
"Al Gore has been warning and educating us about the dangers of climate change for decades. He saw this coming before others in public life and never stopped pushing for action to save our planet, even in the face of public indifference and attacks from those determined to defend the indefensible. His tireless advocacy and his Academy Award-winning film have inspired countless people around the world to join the fight against climate change. I am thrilled by this well-deserved recognition and am grateful to the Nobel Committee for awarding the Peace Prize to him and to those doing ground-breaking work at the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."
