Al Gore, former vice president of the United States and former Grizzly Adams look-alike, has been named, along with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as the winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel committee said it picked Gore and the IPCC "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."

Gore will have to share the $1.6 million in prize money, but will get his own gold medal and diploma, suitable for framing. He can put it right next to his Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth.
