Statement of former President Bill Clinton
on Al Gore Winning the Nobel Prize:
October 12, 2007
New York, NY

Al Gore has been warning and educating us about the dangers of climate change for decades. He saw this coming before others in public life and never stopped pushing for action to save our planet, even in the face of public indifference and attacks from those determined to defend the indefensible. His tireless advocacy and his Academy Award-winning film have inspired countless people around the world to join the fight against climate change. I am thrilled by this well-deserved recognition and am grateful to the Nobel Committee for awarding the Peace Prize to him and to those doing ground-breaking work at the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

2. I am glad President Clinton made this statement.

I was hoping and expecting that he would acknowledge President Gore's accomplishment. Whatever differences there may have been between them, President Gore deserves the recognition; not least from the man with whom he served as Vice President prior to his own election to the office of President of the United States.
