Earlier this month, the Nobel committee nominated Al Gore for the Nobel Peace Prize. This comes in the wake of his worldwide speeches, and also after the astounding movie “An Inconvenient Truth”.
If you haven’t warmed up to the importance of this film, and how utterly dire the consequences of Global Warming are, now is the time to get acquainted with it.
The movie has also been nominated in two categories for the Oscar: Best Documentary and Best Original Song.

Coincidentally, Jacques Chirac announced that the U.S. may be subject to a Carbon Tax on the exports of its goods if it does not sign agreements on reducing greenhouse gases.
This makes much sense, especially if you have seen the movie. In it, Gore describes how the melting of ice masses in Greenland, for instance, would cause another ice age in Europe because of the way the ocean current belts function.
In other recent news:
1. Global Warming linked to man-made activity.
2. A report describes the political interference about the subject of G.W.
I do wish the movie gets the Oscar for Best Documentary. This will probably mean more to most people than a Nobel Peace Prize (which is unfortunate in a way).
Congratulations on your nomination, Mr. Gore. Here’s to hoping I’ll get to congratulate you again in the near future. Well done.
