U.N. lauds Gore, environment leaders at green awards - Yahoo! News
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The
United Nations named former U.S. Vice President
Al Gore and Olympics chief Jacques Rogge as recipients of environmental awards on Thursday, and urged more action to stop global warming. Only two of the seven winners were present at the ceremony in Singapore to receive trophies made from recycled metal.
Gore, a dedicated climate crusader who starred in his 2006 global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," was represented by actress and environmental activist Daryl Hannah. "It has taken too long for global leaders, especially in the United States, to wake up to this fact and respond, but I have hope," Gore said in a speech read by Hannah at the ceremony.
If there is an award it is now safe to say the winner is Al Gore. Just put his name and send it via green express the Carbon Offsets are starting to pile on the Guy. Now if we just get to hear the winner of the 08 Presidential election is Al Gore who of the second time in as many trips as won the popular vote folks. We callin this one for Al Gore.
