How does talking about global warming qualify you for a peace prize? I could see physics or chemistry, but peace? :confused:

"Peace Prize" is what they give you when they want to kiss your Leftist ass, but you haven't made any tangible contribution toward the good of mankind.

Personally I think it would be a prize for the world if Gore were to have a warming experience with Nobel's most famous invention.

Al Gore is one of the most brilliant men in America and continues his stellar record of public service for no other reason than the fact that he cares about the world and people in it... a totally foreign concept to conservatives.

Yeah I gotta ask the same thing - I don't see how even a lifetime devoted to the environment qualifies you for nomination for a prize for *peace*. They managed to MISS people like Ghandi and John Paul II - but Al Gore? What "peace" did he promote?

Bullchit, Al Gore loves to hear himself speak and see his picture on TV, not to mention the ass load of money he makes from contributions to his "cause" and the publicity he gets for book sales and movie royalties.

Well, as a result of global warming, you'll see more competition for natural resources. That will result in conflicts and war.

So, the work he has done to educate the public on this avoidable catastrophe certainly merits a peace prize.

Landmark Legal Foundation Nominates Rush Limbaugh for 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
"Rush Limbaugh is the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today," explained Levin. "Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations."

Right. Making films and hiring staff to write books for you and do your research surely trumps the efforts of real people risking their necks for peace.

Because after all, all of the major wars of the past century weren't fought over Allah, Communism or "Lebensraum' - they were fought over the *environment*.

But what do I know? Hell, Yassir Arafat got a Peace Prize.

:lmao:

The reasoned reply to Gore getting this award is; so what? They have a history of absurd choices.

Atta boy, Sammy.

Or the fact that while giving it to people like Kofi Annan - they missed people like Mahatma Ghandi.
