WASHINGTON - Senator and Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd today released the following statement congratulating Al Gore on his Nobel Peace Prize.
"I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to my friend and former colleague Al Gore, on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. As today's announcement confirms, reversing the effects of global warming is an issue of global justice and security. Al's tireless efforts to increase awareness of the threats of global warming have provided a powerful voice telling the world that we need to act now.
"I share Al's conviction that it will take bold leadership to turn back the clock on global warming.
