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. -

Should Al Gore deserve the Nobel Prize Peace Prize. Conceder two other people who were nominated. One was a Buddhist monk who is using passive resistence to bring democracy to Burma or what ever the thugs in the military dictatorship, that currently runs that nation, are calling it now. The other was a Polish women, now in her ninties, who saved thousands of Jewish children from the Nazis, during World War Two, by placing them with Catholic families. She kept the secret, of where she placed the children, even when she was picked up by the SS and tortured, and did everthing she could, after the war, to make sure they were reunited with whatever was left of their families. Either one of these people deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more the Al Gore.

Yes
The PEACE prize for one should go to someone who brings peace to nations. Al Gore did not do this he didn't even bring peace to the US if anything he brought more division. Secondly, if a nobel prize of science were to go to anyone for global warming shouldn't it be the scientists who studied it. Personally I think global warming is an exageration to begin with. Anyway that other lady mentioned deserved it way more. Seriously it is just a publicity stint any more and Al Gore has one of the biggest heads out there when it comes to wanting attention.

Al Gore robbed one of the lost heroes of WWII, I never even knew about her to I saw a small segment on her on Glenn Beck!
Gore's mansion has a far higher carbon footprint than George W. Bush's Texas Ranch!

Actually, you're wrong twice. Nobel didn't invent TNT, that was Joseph Wilbrand. Nobel invented a way of stabilizing nitroglycerine in clay. He did it as a way to make mining and construction more efficient and safer. He was horrified by 1c84the other uses to which his invention were put and that was the reason he endowed the Nobel Prizes.
The story is that when his brother died, a French newspaper printed an obituary thinking that it was Alfred and condemned him as a "merchant of death". Nobel was so disturbed that this was how he might be remembered that he changed his will and left his entire fortune to pay for the prizes in perpetuity.A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. - David Mamet
