Nobel Prizes have lost all credibility since they awarded one to little Jimmy Carter.
This chucklehead deserves a peace prize?...for what? They may as well start handing peace prizes out in cracker jack boxes....
“Fred” used to mean “peace” in Norwegian. I guess now it means “Profiteer.”
2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Algore, who just blows.
The good news is that the Peace Prize has now been linked to a disprovable (and disproved) philosophy. Its the beginning of the end for the PP.
At least Gore wasn’t awarded a Nobel Prize for any science...Gore’s global warming pitch is pure snake oil and pseudo science and is an insult to rational scientific inquiry. The very fact that Gore and his adherents call those who might question the veracity of any part of his global warming hypothesis “deniers” puts him in the same category as the Inquisition was to Galileo.
Arafat, Carter, Gore. Ridiculous. Scandalous, absurd, pathetic.
Birds of a rotten, stinking feather.
Lying evil scumbags.
When one looks at some of the other nitwits that won the Nobel Peace prize it loses its lustre. Jimmy Carter, Kofi Anan, Arafat et al.have also been winners.
Bottom line - for most Americans, WGAS?
Amen.
Junk science begets.
...junk awards.
If Alfred Nobel was alive today he wouldn’t have regretted inventing dynamite.
What does Global Warming have to do with peace????
Al Gore has won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. This choice, more than any other Nobel Committee selection, marks the end of a 105-year era. In direct contradiction of Alfred Nobel's last will and testament, the selection of Gore essentially means the Peace Prize can no longer be said to be an award for improving the condition of humankind. Looking at Gore's writing, it's far from clear that Gore even believes that humanity is his most important priority.
All it takes to dismiss this article is to acknowledge the obvious -- that the Nobel committee buys into the idea that global warming will result in disaster.
Once you do that, it makes perfect sense that they would honor the person who is the best-known spokesman on the topic -- Mr. Al Gore. Their position would be that dealing with global warming is of supreme importance "for the good of humanity."
Right or wrong in their belief on global warming, they're acting consistently with Mr. Nobel's instructions.
I hate it when pundits expend all those words on a premise that is fatally flawed. This guy no doubt has his own opinions about global warming and Al Gore ... and he expects the Nobel Prize committee to share his opinion. Well, they don't. Tough noodles, pal. Think it through next time.
In light of the recent British court ruling that his movie is a political, one-sided fraud, and the children shouldn’t see it without being advised of at least 11 substantive errors, this award is a farce!!!!!
Malthus lives!
So lets see here for a moment about the oh so glorious Nobel Prize and what that vaunted institution has become:
1. The Godfather of Worldwide Terrorism Yassar Arafat got a Peace Prize for pretending to want peace but used this as bookend on his shelf and went on to kill another 20,000 innocent Jews.
2. Jimmy Carter who was partner with that terrorist has now plainly shown just how Anti-American & Anti-Semitic he really is from his ongoing actions.
3. The United Nations Kofi Annan who presided over a absolutely corrupt and impotent organization while allowing A) dictators pillaged the humanitarian relief funds B) Oil-For-Food scandals C) Rwanda Genocide D) Drug trafficking, Sex Slavery, Racketeering, Netopism by UN personnel
4. International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei for playing footsie with Iran, N Korea and other nuclear aspiring states, giving them more than enough time to develop nuclear weapons while slapping them on the wrist with meaningless actions.
Yeah, Alfred Nobel must really be spinning in his grave for all his foundation has degenerated to crap. Heck maybe I'll find my Nobel Prize in my next box of morning breakfast cereal.
Well Al Gore I'll say this much to you: "You may fool most of the people some of the time....."
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Gore-basm Nobel Prize PING.
With this award to Gore, the Nobel committee has disgraced themselves to the point of irrelevence. They have made bad choices before, notably Arafat, but this has an additional obvious error - global warming, even if it is an issue, has nothing to do with peace. They have made a purely political statement with the award, an “attaboy, globaloney alarmists!” The committee members are nothing but a tool of leftwing political agitation at this point. This prize is unjustified but worse sends and endorsement that is ignoring the hyperbole and mis-statements from Gore, the politicization of science that the IPCC has engaged in, and buying into the phony ‘consensus’ that claims the uncertain science is more certain than it is.
Shame on them.
