Forget what you think about “global warming”, “climate change” or any other weather altering phenomena … how the heck do a bunch of climate researchers and Al Gore win the Nobel Peace Prize?
From Wikipedia … According to Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize should be awarded “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.
So what does environmental study and a movie about climate change have to do with peace? Getting every other country to stick their tongue out at the U.S. for not signing on to the Kyoto protocols doesn’t count as “fraternity between the nations” in my book. It’s obvious that there’s still rabid disagreement about the causes and cures for modern climate change, just ask all those Greenpeace protesters being hit with the water hoses as they chain themselves to various nuclear of nuclear and/or toxic widgets.
By the way, small hint for Greenpeace: if you want to protect the average American from an environmental disaster, chain yourself across the doors of the local Toys’R’Us so kids can’t get a hold of the new Chinese-made “Lick Me Elmo” … now with orange flavored lead!
Peace? Give me a call when Zombie Ghandi rises from the dead so he can get the Nobel Peace Prize he deserves. If Gore can get 50% of a peace prize and Ghandi gets 0% then something is seriously wrong with the Nobel Prize committee.
Meanwhile 2,000 U.N. climate researchers get to fight over their cut of $750,000 in prize money. The bar brawl resulting from that will be seen from space …
