A terrific honor for Al and the United States.

Yep, and congrats to him for his award and commitment, regardless of whether
global warming is indeed, man induced.

It's ironic that had he been declared the victor in 2000, it is unlikely he
would receiving a Nobel prize today.

Most republicans think that global warming isn't happening in any way,
man made or otherwise. Imagine how awful they must feel realizing that
someone won the Nobel prize for something they believe to be
fictitous.

This is the citation of the Nobel Committee:

"Indications of changes in the earth's future climate must be treated
with the utmost seriousness, and with the precautionary principle
uppermost in our minds. Extensive climate changes may alter and
threaten the living conditions of much of mankind. They 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."

So, if I have this straight, Gore won for proselytizing a less than
universally accepted "scientific" theory which, presumably, has led to
action which prevented (or not) possible future competition for
resources, possible future conflicts, and future wars which haven't
happened yet and which may (or may not) ever occur because they are
only a possibility.

I think is a great precedent! If one can win a Nobel Peace Prize for
preventing events from transpiring which never actually would have
happened anyway, than I am your man.

Have you ever heard of a place called Somalia? It's universally
accepted that the civil wars there are attributed to climate change.
Drought.

And that has what to do with anything?

Climate change, peace. Nobel Peace Prize. Al Gore. Is ANYTHING hitting
those brain cells of yours yet?

Oh bullcrap... Somalia was racist, corrupt, and at war long before Al
invented the idea of taxing corporations based on normal global
cycles, They are not connected. the way you are using them, they are
just words...

What do the Global Taxing folks say about the great historical freezes
in South America lately and the fact that the antarctic ice cap is
growing faster than any time in history. Well, they won't address
it, and when faced with the possiblity of be faced with these facts
they dismiss the query and run away...- Hide quoted text -

"Global Taxing folks" WTF? And you, like a lot of conservatives with
there head in the sand can't possibly understand how the antarctic ice
cap is growing faster and still have the earth warming up, can you?
It's actually quite simple. Want to try, or do you need me to tell you
the answer?

Well, we'll see if they're foundations are full of errors, like the movie

Not to worry...someday some right-wing murderous dictator your side

Harry, the prize is meaningless. It would make no difference who won it. I

There's no evidence to suggest that the droughts were man caused, but
man's farming
practices surely increased the severity of the dust storms.

Then again, man's farming practices (at least here in the US) have
raised ag production and made the US probably the leader in world
food distribution.


So?

Smart farmers. They learned their lesson.

Adolph Hitler would have gotten a nobel prize if he won the war.

That prize is more political than merit. Has been for at least 10-20
years
now.

Take a look at Gore's electric bill via Google. Does not practice what
he
preaches. Hypocrite.

Global warming or not. Besides I like the idea of fishing in Minnesota
in
January with sun screen. Why should Florida get all the fun.
