Gore in Norway to pick up Nobel prize

7/12/2007 9:48:00 PM.  | 
Al Gore has arrived in Norway to receive his Nobel Peace Prize, and has immediately displayed his green credentials by choosing to take an airport shuttle rather than a limousine to travel into Oslo city centre.

The 2007 prize was jointly awarded in October to 59-year-old Gore and to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN body of 3,000 scientists, for their work in highlighting global warming.
 
The award will be handed out at a ceremony on Monday.

Farcical that he should of even been consided for a Nobel Peace Prize let alone being awarded one. Even more farcical is the fact that he is actually going to accept it.

He could not defend effectively at centre, his lateral speed was lacking. He was constantly injured because he was still growing. Simple as... The Game, Everywhere on Sonny Bill could be 'greatest convert ever'

Good on him for saying what he thinks, i agree with him!... Luke Brown, Sydney on Brian McFadden defends "homophobic" slur

(CONT)...The owner/employer (because I was a Manager, so I was privy to information) put his rates up EVERY year in line with CPI, but did... David ., NSW on Urgent calls to abolish existing IR laws
