OSLO, Oct. 12 — The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded today to Al Gore, the former vice president, and to the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its work to alert the world to the threat of global warming.

The award is likely to renew calls from Mr. Gore’s supporters for him to run for president in 2008, joining an already crowded field of Democrats. Mr. Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, has said he is not interested in running but has not flatly rejected the notion.

TRANSCRIPT
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at Giants Stadium Live Earth 7 July, 2007

Now we've all heard the oil industry and the coal industry and their indentured servants in the political process telling us that global climate stability is a luxury that we can't afford.

That we have to choose now between economic prosperity on the one hand and environmental protection on the other.

And that is a false choice.

Al Gore couldn't ask for a bigger bullhorn. On Saturday, the global-warming guru and former vice president will host Live Earth, a 24-hour, seven-continent concert series designed to inspire a crusade to save the environment.

With 100 acts in eight cities projected to reach an estimated 2 billion people via television, radio and the Internet, it's easily the planet's biggest show to date and history's most ambitious benefit event, eclipsing 1985's Live Aid and 2005's Live 8.

Judge cancels Rio Live Earth concert
The Live Earth concerts will be held in cities around the world on July 7

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A judge has canceled a Live Earth concert planned for Saturday in Rio because police said they did not have enough officers to guarantee crowd safety.

Organizers of the free show on Rio's Copacabana Beach said Wednesday they were trying to overturn the order to prevent Latin America from being left out of the worldwide music fest aimed at stopping global warming.
