PALO ALTO, California — Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, newly named co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, said Friday that he hoped the honor would “elevate global consciousness” about the challenges of global warming.

Gore was awarded the prize Friday along with an international network of scientists for spreading awareness of man-made climate change and laying the foundations for counteracting it.
