Praise rolls in for winners of 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Immediate reaction to the awarding
of this year's Nobel Peace Prize was overwhelmingly positive, said
reports reaching here from Oslo on Friday.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Friday that former
U.S.Vice President Al Gore and the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) jointly won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for
their efforts to raise awareness of the threat of climate change.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg called the award "well-
deserved," and said he hoped it would be "an inspiration for everyone
who works with climate challenges."
