“What does a bogus global warming campaign have to do with the Nobel Peace prize?”
Alfred Nobel invented dynamite (among other things, I am sure). I even fail to see why they named the honor after him.

I even fail to see why they named the honor after him.Alfred Nobel, after seeing his invention, dynamite, used in war, decided to establish a monetary award to someone who worked to encourage peace instead of war. I believe he set it up using his profits from the production of dynamite. It was to assuage his own guilt.

The Nobel Prizes were set up by his estate, using his money. That’s why they use his name.
If you want to set up the Preachin’ Prizes with your massive estate after your death, feel free.
