Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize

Speaking of Al's favorite theory... It seems a bunch of the worlds top climatologists don't buy it? They go so far as to claim exactly the opposite view and have very good data to back it up!

Good post Brick. I'm still setting lots of money aside so when I'm taxed up the "Ying Yang" for "Man made global warming" I'll be able to still survive and afford to eat.

I'd like to see the "real" total of scientists on either side of this theory. Sounds like neither side can win on this one. I need to turn off my lights and TV as well as keep the heating & cooling at a reasonable level so I'm conserving as much as I can. (which I have always done) That's just common sense. Why throw money down the chute?

Science and nature are very complex subjects and man can do little change it. All we can do is study and conclude (from the real data) what might happen in the future.

I don't think anyone around here is smart enough to completely figure this out. There are too many unconsenting opinions to say that the issue is one way or the other.

I wish I could see a draft of the science books on this issue from 2040.

Someone is going to look like a complete idiot. Don't know for sure who (yet).

Can you believe it?? Yes I can. For a minute there I thought it was "Kool Aid".

The Nobel Peace Prize (Swedish and Norwegian: Nobels fredspris) is the name of one of five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

guess we are at war with planet earth now.

Nobel died in 1896 and did not leave an explanation for choosing peace as a prize category. The categories for chemistry and physics were obvious choices as he was a trained chemical engineer. The reason behind the peace prize is less clear. Some[attribution needed] have said it was Nobel's way to compensate for developing destructive forces (Nobel's inventions included dynamite and ballistite

feeling bad alfred?

Alfred Nobel never explained[3] why he wanted a Norwegian rather than Swedish body to award the Peace Prize.

well classic finn could be the explanation.

that Adolf Hitler was nominated in 1939 by Erik Brandt, a member of the Swedish Parliament. Brandt retracted the nomination after a few days.[6] Other infamous nominees included Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini.

well,remember dont judge a book by its cover.

For example, the awards given to Theodore Roosevelt, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat, Lê Ðức Thọ and Henry Kissinger were particularly controversial and criticized; the Kissinger-Thọ award prompted two dissenting Committee members to resign.[7]

war criminals ?

A widely discussed criticism of the peace-prize are the notable omissions, namely the failure to award individuals with widely recognized contributions to peace. The list includes Mahatma Gandhi, Pope John XXIII, Pope John Paul II, Steve Biko, Raphael Lemkin, Herbert Hoover, César Chávez, Jose Figueres Ferrer, and Oscar Romero. In particular, the omission of the Indian leader Gandhi

maybe it's all arrange after all?
theres a real nobel man, spent 27 yr in jail, still smiling, even had to share his prize, not many like him on the list...

Jules,

What she said. I will have to second that. Excellent bit of research. Looks like AlGore is in good company.
