The former US vice-president was awarded the prestigious prize jointly with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The committee cited "their efforts to build up and disseminate knowledge about man-made climate change". Mr Gore won an Oscar for his climate change film An Inconvenient Truth. It's a shame that many in the climate forums saw him as an idiot who hadn't a clue what he was talking about. flam ing balloons ID: 658588 ·

It's a shame that many in the climate forums saw him as an idiot who hadn't a clue what he was talking about. What Gore is pontificating on needs to be publicised, and technology development, and progress, needs to be more and more environmentally benign that the technology going before it. I believe Global Warming is a cycle that is happening, and we are currently in a warming upswing. Just as happened in Europe during the Roman occupation. Certainly, the UK had over 1,300 vineyards producing good quality wine, and these grew grapes right up to the boarders of Scotland. The balancing cooling period was felt during the Middle Ages, which was called the mini-Ice age. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 658590 ·

So how did he win this prize? Just goes to show that even the Noble Peace Prize's are now a politically correct Sham. How long before Gore uses this for another shot at the White House.

The Nobel Peace Prize is the name of one of five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. 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". Monks are not 'a person' and their cause was for only their own country, not for 'fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses'.

I voted for him the first time (I am a dyed-in-the-wool-republican), but I did not vote for him the second time around. I am a very disenchanted republican at the moment, and do not have a clue who to consider voting for at this point. They are all corrupted by money, and the few who may not be do not stand a chance.
