He must be pleased that somebody did. His share of the Nobel peace prize with the IPCC has met with a lot of online activity.
A New York Times's blog post now stands at 736 comments and rising: "Hail reason", "You should have been president since 2000" and "I am the number one fan of the man from Tennessee!" are just three.
Liberal bloggers add their congratulations ... and a few further observations. Matthew Yglesias judges it as a "move designed to ensure that American conservatives bury themselves even deeper into denialist holes"; Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo that "the greatest step for world peace would simply have been for Gore not to have had the presidency stolen from him in November 2000".
As the NYT comments make abundantly clear, there are plenty of fans - including Jimmy Carter - who would like the former vice president to take another run at the White House. He's scheduled to speak in California shortly and will certainly be asked his intentions.
Just don't get your hopes up.
