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".
Last time I checked he did none of that. -

if all nations agree that global warming is beyond a political issue (though, lets be honest, it is), then yeah that could be seen as that
but indeed its a tricky one but it wouldnt be the first time the nobel peace prize is awarded because of a work of art (in the broader sense: movies, books, etc) -

"because he said, "the glaciers are melting" "
No, no, no! That's not it. It's because he said, "the planet has a fever".
This guy is running a ponzie scheme and I think people are finally waking up to that fact. -

Hey, but Menachem Begin did actually make peace with Egypt so I think that washed a little of the blood off his hands (just a little).

Why do the 'Oil' Companies get away with Price Gouging(1), Collusion(2), and Technology Suppression(3)? All of which are Illegal "LAST TIME I CHECKED". Why haven't We done anything about it? Because we can afford itBecause we have become a Nation of ostriches? At least He, in a position to do so Does, where as we as a whole pick our nose and say 'WHY SHOULD HE GET A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR TRYING TO EDUCATE THE MASSES' wheres the "strategery" in that?

I'm no fan of Gore, its easy to point out he's a phony. And it can be fairly debated whether he deserved the Nobel Prize.
But bringing the issue of Global Warming to a discussion is fully within the paramaeters for which to consider for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize. This does meet the qualification of working for the fraternity between nations. It is irefutable that the earth is warming and that man is playing a role in that warming with much higher atomospheric CO2 over the last 250 years. This is going to lay the foundations for potential future wars and armed conflicts.
