HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- A University of Montana climate change scientist who was on a panel awarded the Nobel Peace Prize said Friday he hoped the recognition would put to rest any remaining doubts about global warming.

Ecology professor Steve Running, 57, was lead author of the North American chapter in a climate change report issued this year by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Nobel administrators announced Friday that this year's prize would be shared by the panel and former Vice President Al Gore, who has been outspoken on the need to confront global warming.
