It is now confirmed, the name of the Nobel Peace Prize has been unofficially changed to

The Nobel Glob[e]l Socialism Prize

Even increasing the use of nuclear energy as a source of power within the US should not be taken off the table.

Not only should it not be taken off the table, it is realistically, the ONLY way we can possibly reduce CO2 emissions substantially, while still maintaining our standard of living and productivity. But see, for the envirofascists, its all about bringing us down to their socialist/luddite utopia..

the silver lining to all this is that the Nobel “Peace” Prize is forever sullied after Gore’s win — it is now seen naked for what it is: merely a vehicle for attacking the United States and capitalism.

“Alfred Nobel must surely be turning around in his grave”

I’ve yet to have anyone explain to me how pimping a lie for personal profit contributes to the advancement of “Peace”...

Giving him the Nobel Peace Prize places Vice President Gore in the company of greats like Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1964, Mother Teresa In 1979, Lech Walesa in 1983, and Nelson Mandela in 1993.

It also places him in the company of Yasir Arafat, Kofi Anan and Jimmy Carter. The Nobel Committee isn't very picky these days. If he/she/it advances world Socialism, he/she/it gets the prize. I'll let you decide if Al Gore is a he, she or it.

“But see, for the envirofascists, its all about bringing us down to their socialist/luddite utopia..”

Which includes going back to living in caves, walking everywhere and of course, showering (as they do) only once a month.

“while still maintaining our standard of living and productivity”

This is the whole point - bringing down our standard of living, while the “elites” fly around in their private jets.

Their blatant use of the environmental issue to institute socialism is so easy to see - those who don’t are either in cahoots or blindingly ignorant.

"...conservatives should use the time we have to develop incentive-based approaches to reducing CO2 emissions."

Uh, WHY should we do this?

OK then, let’s use more, safe, clean etc. etc. nuclear power, then plug electric cars into the grid.

What, Nuclear Energy alarmists too?

"Through this award, the international community is saying to us, “Environmental concerns are very important and America needs to step up to the plate of international leadership!”"

No it isn't. It's a tiny group of moonbat Liberal marxists who control the awards purse strings, and are desperate to push this global warming SCAM on us that are saying this.

No. That happened when Carter and Arafat got it. Gore only confirms the joke.

I thought that the Nobel Peace Prize was forever sullied after they gave it to Jimmy Carter for the “Agreed Framework” to help North Korea develop the atomic bomb!

As these activists wait for their “moment,” conservatives should use the time we have to develop incentive-based approaches to reducing CO2 emissions.

Why? To be politically correct?

the award adds cache and credibility to the former Vice President’s agenda

Argh. Where's the editor when you need him?

The word is "cachet", not cache. The former is pronounced "cashay", the latter is pronounced "cash."

The award certainly did add cash to Gore's agenda, but it also lent it cachet.

Don't be worried about CO2 emissions. I don't think you quite realize the scale of the Global Warming Hoax - the idea that CO2 causes high temperatures is nonsense. The Vostok ice-core data shows that it is exactly the other way round.

We should dig up the abundant coal we have and build more coal fired plants like China.
Maybe then the USA will be given carbon credits to sell to other western countries who (like the USA is now) pollute far less than any of the turd world crap holes like China and India that are somehow on the recieving end of these green credits.
