Gore and IPCC win Nobel Peace Prize

It's official: Former Vice President Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize along with the United Nation's Intergovernmental Climate Change Panel. From the Nobel press release:

Al Gore has for a long time been one of the world's leading environmentalist politicians. He became aware at an early stage of the climatic challenges the world is facing. His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted.

I guess the British Court's ruling on the errors of Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" wasn't a factor after all.
