Is the Nobel Prize the Tipping Point for Change?
Al Gore won a Nobel Prize for his leadership on the Global Warming / Climate Change crisis. So now he's got a tri-fecta of awards that would make any mother blush: an Oscar, a Nobel Prize, and not-to-be underestimated: VP of the free world. 
Now here's the question: is this award representative of something bigger than Gore's personal prowess and charisma? What I mean is, is the Nobel Prize a tipping point for awareness on this critical issue? I certainly hope so.
If it isn't the tipping point on both awareness and a willingness to change, it may be that we have already crested the tipping point of failure. But I don't think so, I'm pretty optimistic on this point. Not naive, just optimistic.
