Abstract:
2007 was a remarkable year in many respects. In February, Al Gore won
an Oscar (Best Documentary) for his film An Inconvenient Truth, which
had already served as a wake-up call, drawing the attention of the public
and policy-makers to the threat of climate change. The climate was and
continues to be hot news, the high point perhaps being the award of the
Nobel Peace Prize to Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC). Gore and Rajendra Pachauri, representing the IPCC,
received the prestigious prize for their efforts to develop and disseminate
the knowledge needed on human-caused climate change so that action
can be taken to combat it.
