Al Gore Wins Nobel Peace Prize
But Al Gore for President isn’t likely
Awareness of global warming may rise after the Nobel Peace Prize awarded Friday to former Vice President Al Gore and a United Nations science panel for their work on the issue. Mr. Gore won’t likely take the one action that could immediately alter the political dynamic at home — entering the 2008 presidential race. Still, the award will likely put pressure on presidential hopefuls from the Democratic and Republican parties to address the issue. The prize isn’t expected to do much to remove political barriers to action in the U.S. or overseas, and Gore likely won’t enter the presidential race.
