Al Gore says that "Global Warming" is caused by villainous human beings. In essence, he has declared War on Mankind.
So, it makes sense that he would be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

OSLO (AFP) - Former US vice president Al Gore, Finnish peace broker Martti Ahtisaari and Chinese dissident Rebiya Kadeer are among those seen as possible winners of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, as the nomination period draws to a close.
Emails, faxes and letters have been flowing in to the Nobel Institute in Oslo ahead of the February 1 deadline for nominations.
"I still believe very strongly in Ahtisaari," the head of the Oslo Peace Research Institute (PRIO), Stein Toennesson, told AFP.
"The peace process in Indonesia (orchestrated by Ahtisaari) is so important. He has a good chance, but everything depends on how the situation in Kosovo develops," he said.
The 69-year-old former Finnish president oversaw talks in Helsinki that led to a peace agreement in 2005 between the Indonesian government and rebels in the Aceh province. He is currently the UN special envoy for talks on the final status of Kosovo.
Ahtisaari has been nominated several times in recent years. He has a long history of peacemaking, including mediation efforts in Namibia, the former Yugoslavia and the Northern Ireland.
"The issue of global warming is also very topical and ... it wouldn't be impossible for the Nobel committee to honour a person combatting this threat. In such case, Al Gore ... seems to me to be a possible candidate," said Toennesson.
The former US vice president is currently criss-crossing the globe with his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", a hard-hitting rallying cry against global environmental catastrophe.

Global Warming is the perfect designer crisis. Whenever there is unpleasant weather anywhere in the world, the United States is to blame.
I sure hope Algore gets the Nobel Prize, especially since BlowJobBilly missed out on it..............great irony!!!!
