OSLO (Reuters) – Climate campaigner Al Gore collected the Nobel Peace Prize on Monday and said it was time to stop waging war on the earth and make peace with the planet.
The former U.S. vice president shared the 2007 peace prize with the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change whose head, Rajendra Pachauri, urged leaders at a U.N. climate conference in Indonesia to heed the wisdom of science.
“Without realizing it, we have begun to wage war on the earth itself,” Gore said in the prepared text of his speech. “It is time to make peace with the planet.”
