The morning of October 12, 2007, was the same as every other: I woke up, showered and checked the news before going to school. Today, the news came as a pleasant surprise: Al Gore had won the Nobel Peace Prize. I was thrilled because I strongly believe in finding a solution to the climate crisis. As I began to drive to school (note the irony), I started to think more about it. Al Gore has worked hard to raise awareness about global warming, but I wonder, was the Nobel Peace Prize the right honor?
