Gore shares peace prize with UN group
"[Al Gore] is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted," the Nobel citation said.[snip]
Mr. Gore said he would donate the proceeds from his award to the environmental cause.
"My wife, Tipper, and I will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis."
