Al Gore (and the IPCC) Win Nobel Peace Prize

[NinoFan]

Al Gore and the IPCC have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

[Signalman]

Jimmy Carter, Yassir Afafat and now Algore.

It should be called the “Nobel Buffoon prize”.

[Rennes Templar]

Please run, Al.

[Larry Lucido]

Couldn’t have said it better.

Couldn’t even have come close, in fact.

[hattend]

How does whining about the climate justify a PEACE prize?

[hiredhand]

I actually sent the Nobel Peace Price folks an e-mail awhile ago. In the nicest possible way I told them that their silly, worthless award wasn’t worth wiping my butt with. They’ll probably ignore it. :-)

[Miss Didi]

Rush saying that Bubba has got to be furious over this...with all his fund raising all over the world. Bubba wanted a Peace Prize; Algore got one. The Bubbas wanted to get rich; Algore is rich. Bubba wants Hillary back in the White House; nows there's a draft Algore movement. Rush is playing clips of the PANTING drive bys speculating over Algore's win and possible run.

P.S. What is UP with this Temporarily Unavailable page every 2 seconds???

[upcountryhorseman]

How is that possible? His inaccurate, lying book has
nothing to do with “peace”.

[upcountryhorseman]

Also, his movie!

[NYCynic]

Oh brother!

[Doomonyou]

This really ticks me off.

Every time that idiot is in the news with some global warming nonsense, the weather turns cold and rainy. I'm supposed to be playing in a golf tournament right now and it's raining like a bastard.

Damn You Goracle!

[LukeL]

South Park will poke fun at this again. Maybe we can have him actually find Manbearpig.

[Squantos]

Clearly they are no longer governed by a board that honors or respects an acknowledgement of social, scientific, economical or humanitarian achievements .

They now focus (all of us) with their pandering to political cow crap !

[Revolting cat!]

It’s all our own fault for elevating idiots to the celebrity status, for accepting the books written by others, as authored by them (the idiots), for arguing with them, when they are only celebrity puppets for groups with agendas. Goron has demonstrated that he is a semi-educated halfwit.

[hiredhand]

They respect, acknowledge, and worship at the alter of global warming. They have their “god” and their high priests....we have ours.

[RedFred In A Blue State]

The Nobel Prize was set up, and decreed by Albert Nobel in his last will and testament to honor those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind. Prizes in all categories should be a reward for the most important pioneering discoveries or works in the field of knowledge and progress.”

Gore doesn’t have a bit of mankind in his best interests. He puts the environment ahead of anything that benefits mankind – the opposite of what the Nobel prize is supposed to honor:

In his book Earth in the Balance, Gore wonders aloud whether cancer treatments should be used if they would result in the harvesting of what he considers to be to be too many trees. On page 119 he writes:

“The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, which offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast, and ovarian cancer in patients. It seems an easy choice - sacrifice the tree for a human life - until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated.”

My wife, who’s been on taxol off and on for the past 5 years would be dead if people listened to this maroon...

[Squantos]

Yep .....yer preaching to the Choir regarding ALGore’s polidiot idiot status !

Stay safe ....I gotta get out of here and run some errands !

Will check back later !

No, not the Science award.The Norwegian Nobel Committee said global warming "may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the Earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states."

"may induce large-scale migration"?
Well, it certainly has not happened yet.

It is safe to state the "peace" in this award is hypothetically, just as the "problem" is.

[Post Toasties]

Global warming will reduce the average intensity of cyclonic storms.

It's very straightforward, actually - smaller temperature differentials between the polar and equatorial regions due to warming result in less net energy for storms that feed off of atmospheric temperature differences.

[Question Liberal Authority]

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said global warming "may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the Earth's resources.

If THAT'S the standard, the The Minutemen should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to stop a "large scale migration".

[FReepapalooza]

“may induce large-scale migration”

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION caused by global warming!

Wait a minute, aren’t they going the wrong way!
