Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Albert Arnold Gore Jr.

Yesterday he was a former vice president; an unsuccessful presidential candidate; an environmental advocate; or maybe a documentary filmmaker.

But today, he’s Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore.

The Foundation awarded to prize to Gore, along with the International Panel on Climate Change, for their “efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."

Watch a video of the announcement.
