آل قور نائب الرئيس كلنتون: يفوز بجائزة Noble للسلام

Quote: WASHINGTON — Al Gore now has a Nobel Prize, an Oscar and an Emmy. Probably the only thing better might be getting a chair in the Oval Office. But despite Friday's announcement that the former vice president would share the Nobel Peace Prize with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and an entrenched activist movement to dust off his 2000 campaign, sources close to Gore say he likely will not seek to ride the wave of popularity into the White House — not in 2008 at least. Gore — who was President Clinton's veep for eight years — already appeared to be attempting to put distance between himself and the idea of a challenge in his first statement about the prize, and he didn't mention politics in a later appearance before reporters. "The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level," Gore said, also saying he was "deeply honored" to win the award and share it with the UN IPCC, and would be donating the $1.5 million proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Change, a noprofit organization.
