Although many suspected that Al Gore’s winning of the Nobel Prize for “An inconvenient truth” was a first step in his bid for a come-back at the White House, the Former US Vice-President denied such claims in an interview with the Norwegian broadcaster NRK.

"I don't have plans to be a candidate again so I don't really see it in that context at all.

"I'm involved in another kind of campaign. It's a global campaign to change the way people think about the climate crisis," Al Gore, who lost the presidential elections in 2000, said.

Gore said that he has no intentions to entry into the 2008 presidential race; instead his future plans will focus on the campaign concerning the climate change, which proved to be very successful and culminated with the winning of the Nobel Prize last week. The Prize is worth $1.5m (£750,000).

A national organization which campaigned for Gore to enter the race for the White House said that the traffic on his website boosted since the Nobel was awarded. The 59-year-old and the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change also won an Oscar for the 2006 documentary.

Although the democrat said he’s not interested, many of his supporters urged him to enter the 2008 presidential race. Among them was the man who won the Nobel Prize for peace in 2002, Jimmy Carter.

Draftgore.com, an organization campaigning for the former vice-president, estimated that 200,000 people had signed a petition to show their support for his possible candidature. 70,000 of those signatures were recorded over the four days following the Nobel awards.

Even if Al Gore would decide to run for presidency, practically, he would have to pass many obstacles especially because the race is now well under way. The first contest in the November 2008 election, the Iowa assembly, is less than 100 days away.
