Washington, D.C. (AHN) - Former Vice Pres. Al Gore's power point presentation documenting global warming won an Oscar for best documentary film Sunday.

The documentary titled "An Inconvenient Truth" is a dismaying revelation of how far global warming that threatens mankind's existence has progressed and how hard reversing that warming might be.

Al Gore lost the race for the presidency to George W. Bush. Pres. Bush, until recently, had denied that global warming existed and has refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol agreement to curb U.S. contributions to worsening that problem.

There is speculation that Gore's Oscar might prompt him to enter the presidential race for 2008. But during his acceptance speech Gore said that global warming was not a political issue.

"My fellow Americans ... people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis," he said, according to reports by News24.com on Monday.

"It's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act. That's a renewable resource."
