Al Gore received the Nobel Peace Prize on Monday and urged the United States and China to make the boldest moves on climate change or “stand accountable before history for their failure to act.”

“We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency - a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here,” Gore said in his acceptance speech.

Gore shared the Nobel with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for sounding the alarm over global warming and spreading awareness on how to counteract it
