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

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?
For the global warming hippies, it's a theory and only time will tell if you're right or not. So far history has largely proved you to be wrong and so-far the HUGE increase in temperature the past century(what 1 degree) is slightly abnormal and can be considered as an -Outlier-haha (also the melting ice caps will futher increase global prosperity)(don't you care about that too?)
Anyways, for the guy who posted the thing about oil companies. Anyways back in 2007 and prior I defended the oil companies/oil prices and -timed- proved me right. Your whole idea was completely crazy,ridiciolous and as you can see without any contention wrong. The price of oil rose due to demand, that is an elementary(literally) concept of economics. Now that demand has fallen, the price of oil plummted. If the idea of a conspiracy was true, then the same factors would exist now to increase the price of oil or logically based upon yours, it would have never fallen to the level it has or near it. Also the same counter-culuture will bemoan peak supply oil however the facts also dispute this a la' shale oil. At least a century worth just for America and once tapped, it very well could make us an exporter! -
