You may think we're all about juicy gossip around here, but truth is we love a bit of good, positive news—especially when it involves Al Gore.

The green crusader can now add a Nobel Peace Prize to his Oscar and Emmy. This morning, he was recognized for his "efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and laying the foundations for counteracting it." 

As always, Gore spent little time celebrating and used the moment to remind everyone, "We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity."

We congratulate Al on his prize—looks like the only thing he's got left to win is a U.S. presidency, which he still kept mum about at the event.
