ADVERTISEMENT
Published: December 11, 2007
OSLO, Norway - Al Gore received his Nobel Peace Prize on Monday and urged the United States and China to make the boldest moves on climate change or "stand accountable before history for their failure to act."
In accepting the prize he shared with the U.N. climate panel, the former vice president said humanity risks sliding down a path of "mutually assured destruction."
"It is time to make peace with the planet," Gore said in his acceptance speech. "We must quickly mobilize our civilization with the urgency and resolve that has previously been seen only when nations mobilized for war."
