And the world got a little bit dumber.
 
Al Gore wins Peace Prize for pretending to be a scientist....

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe...ore/index.html

So Gore joins the ranks of:
Theodore Roosevelt, Lord (John) Boyd Orr of Brechin, Albert Schweitzer, George Catlett Marshall, Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, The 14th Dalai Lama


B. Spears should get an award for mother of the year now.

Can someone please explain how what he's done (and I'm not hacking on that) has anything to do with "peace?"

Let Nobelprize.org speak for themselves:

By awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 to the IPCC and Al Gore, the Norwegian Nobel Committee is seeking to contribute to a sharper focus on the processes and decisions that appear to be necessary to protect the world’s future climate, and thereby to reduce the threat to the security of mankind. Action is necessary now, before climate change moves beyond man’s control.

I see.

Thanks for posting that.

'Fraid I don't agree with their line of thinking (climate change is related to peace), but at least I know what it was.

Not to arm wrestle but when they are giving the money/award away i guess they can think the way they want. But that's another discussion.

That's IT! I'm making a documentary on the Global Warming of Mars! The ice caps on Mars are shrinking at an alarming rate and we have invaded Mars with rovers placed there by the United States. We are now exporting Global Warming!.

Forget that the rovers are using Solar Power. The FACT that this is occurring NOW along with the Earth and the FACT that we have NOW placed rovers on Mars must be a correlation.

I contend that the two above FACTS MUST mean that we humans are causing Global Warming on Mars.

If Al Gore can get a Nobel Prize using the same logic why can't I for rolling out this latest scientific theory?
