Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Mr Gore referred to climate change as a "planetary emergency".

He said he hoped for a positive outcome from the UN climate talks in Bali.

The chairman of Mr Gore's co-laureate, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said climate change threatened human security.

"Societies have a long record of adapting to the impacts of weather and climate," said Rajendra Pachauri, the Indian engineer who has chaired the IPCC since 2002.

"But climate change poses novel risks often outside the range of experience."
