Former Vice President Al Gore and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo today for their campaigns against global warming.

The citation said Gore's "strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change." The Norwegian Nobel Committee also said Gore was "probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted."
