Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize
By: adminIn Al Gore on October 12th, 2007
Al Gore, along with the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, won the Nobel Peace Prize for efforts to raise awareness and educate others on issues regarding man-made client change.
“I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize,” the former Vice President said. “We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity.” Gore also said he would donate his share of the $1.5 million prize to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a non-profit and bipartisan organization.
The Nobel Citations read: “His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted.”
A well deserved accolade, indeed.

I find it strange that Professor Lonnie G. Thompson, of Ohio State University, School of Earth Sciences & Byrd Polar Research Center didn’t receive 1/4 Nobel Prize with Mr. Gore. According to the Nobel Website 1/2 the Nobel Peace Prize went to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and it was split with Mr. Al Gore. I think it would be only right that Mr. Gore should split 1/2 his prize with Professor Thompson.
If one didn’t fall asleep in Mr. Gore’s movie, one would know Mr. Gore received a majority of the Scientific Date and Information for his movie from Professor Lonnie G. Thompson, a man who has spent more time above 18,000 feet than any other person on Earth, according to Rolling Stone Magazine. Can someone tell me why the Nobel Foundation didn’t recognize Glaciologist Professor Lonnie G. Thompson and why he didn’t receive 1/4 award, if Mr. Gore presented his Scientific Date / Information in his film?

Let me get this straight, you BAN Miley Cyrus for innocent, private photos but you give a big Hurrah to one of the biggest con artists in history?
MANMADE global warming is a scam by Al Gore to become richer than he already is, by selling fictional ‘carbon credits’. THIS is a ‘role model’ for kids. GET F*CKING REAL!!!!!!
BTW Brian, the NPC didn’t award the scientist because he evidently isn’t anti-american enough for them.
