Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Trim50]

The smug Luddites have won...it is time for me to push-off now for sure!

OSLO, Norway - Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and lay the foundations for counteracting it.
"I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize," Gore said in a statement. "We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity."

The Luddites* were a group of workers in 19th century (1811) Britain who smashed labor-saving textile machinery (wide-framed looms) in protest over declining wages and lost jobs.

* Named for the apocryphal Ned Ludd
