Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize

i was bleary eyed when i took a spin through my blog feeds this morning and didn't get the news of Al Gore receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in conjunction with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. it's nice when things work out the way they should. this is a well-deserved award, and one that underscores the power one person can have on a very daunting issue.

even better, Gore will donate his winnings to the Alliance for Climate Protection. follow the link for great info on a powerful (and now a bit better funded) bi-partisan non-profit.
