MADISON, Wis. — Al Gore’s crusade against global warming won him the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shares with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on climate change.
A lot of the research done on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus is part of that prestigious group, WISC-TV reported.
“This is definitely the wake-up call, and what’s concerning to the climatologists is the rate of warming that we’ve had,” said Jonathan Patz, an associate professor at UW-Madison’s Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Study.
