Instant Karma: Gore to Receive Award in India
Instant Karma: Gore to Receive Award in India
Al Gore wins Indian tribal award
By Subir Bhaumik
BBC News, Calcutta


Mr Gore has ceaselessly warned of the dangers of climate change

Khasi tribes people in the Indian state of Meghalaya have decided to honour former US Vice President Al Gore for promoting awareness on climate change.

They say changes in the weather are devastating the picturesque hill state.

Traditional chiefs of the tribe will confer the Grassroot Democracy awards on Al Gore for his campaign for measures to stop global warming.

A spokeswoman for Mr Gore said he was "humbled" to hear of the award, but was unsure if he could attend the ceremony.

1. And it shows the world the spitefulness and petty attitude
of the bush administration. An administration that could not beat or win an election. They had to steal two.
