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

The Nobel Glob[e]l Socialism Prize

[Paradox]

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..

[chilepepper]

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.

[Reaganesque]

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.

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

Uh, WHY should we do this?

[jcon40]

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.

[kabar]

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?

[r9etb]

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.

What they discovered was that there have been four climate change scares; a concern over global cooling beginning in 1895, followed by fears of global warming in 1929, only to be replaced by alarm over global cooling; now we are back to global warming. Just love it! Crisis de jour - Over 95% of the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric water vapor in Earth's atmosphere. But because water droplets held in suspension (clouds) make almost as good a reflector as they do a thermal insulator, there is little rise in daytime temperatures due to the greenhouse effect.

Any greenhouse warming, if it does occur, is limited to primarily increasing nighttime temperatures, which provides beneficial moderation of nighttime low temperatures, but no increase in daytime high temperatures. Dr. Patrick Michaels, Professor of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia, has demonstrated this phenomenon very effectively.

And then there is the Peruvian Queiccaya ice cap which no longer exists is a great example of Cry Wolf - that ice cap was a relic from the ice age and should be gone. Algore is every bit the modern day Snake Oil Salesman.......

Te Arafat Pieces Prize.

[InterceptPoint]

Fortunately for the nation, environmental activists have not yet gained enough public attention for them to unveil their “solutions”. As these activists wait for their “moment,” conservatives should use the time we have to develop incentive-based approaches to reducing CO2 emissions. Even increasing the use of nuclear energy as a source of power within the US should not be taken off the table.

That sounds good but ignores the real facts of the matter which are that the goal of the leftist/Marxist environmental movement has nothing to do with CO2 and everything to do with getting control over our lives. Should we manage to suppress CO2 emissions to zero we would simply find ourselves with yet another crisis requiring that we give up money and freedom to our leftist masters.

No thank you. Let's just continue to point out that the sky is not falling and the whole CO2 issue is just another left-wing scam that is unsupported by the scientific facts.

Gore donated his $1.5 million dollar prize money to a nonprofit.

I ironically notice the electgore2008 website is run by a nonprofit.

[BenLurkin]

The Nobel Peace Prize hasn’t been an “incredible honor” for many, many years.

[COUNTrecount]

Telling the full story with all of its scientific nuances, would have not produced headlines. For this reason the science was compromised, conclusions were framed in a sensationalistic manner, and the public was entertained – not informed. It would have been better to say that there are big cooling cycles coming, interspersed with smaller warming cycles.

"...tantamount to the Nobel Committee endorsing his work."

So what? The Committee endorsed the "work" of Yassar Arafat and Jimmy Carter.

This "prize" is nothing more than the propaganda schlock du jour.
