Last year, Gore got the Peace Prize for his "work" on global warming. If he was to get a prize it should have been in the science fields, NOT peace. (considering the controversy his study stirred up, peace was the LAST thing that he engendered) Peace is doing something to reduce if not stop hostilities or doing something in spite of hostilities. This woman, Irene Sendler, risked her life to save infants and children and the folks in wherever couldn't give her the prize for doing what she did. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/771989.html
A bum on the street was more deserving of that prize that Gore. Of course since they gave it to a murderous terrorist named Arafat a few years prior it has lost it's true meaning.
Algore made like $100 million from selling global warming since leaving the White House. He's like the Madonna of the tidal forces scare. Malthus was a small time promoter in comparison to Al.
Is there a specific reason why people who don't like Gore spell his name like this? Anyway, stupid decision to give the prize to him. But then they'd already given it to Kissinger 30 years ago, which ought to have made the whole thing a laughing stock since.
