OSLO, Norway - Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Friday, and the former vice president used the attention to warn that global warming is "the greatest challenge we've ever faced."
World leaders, President Bush among them, congratulated the winners, while skeptics of man's contribution to warming criticized the choice of Gore.
Gore in a statement said he was " deeply honored ... 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."
Ummm, hey Al do you think you can use a little less energy at your own home now...I am happy you won a Nobel Prize for being the "Best Spoonfed Narrator/Talent Of A Documentary That You Did None Of The Research On", but I challenge you to practice what you preach.
Also if after this honor, the Democrats encourage you to run for President...DO IT! I am pretty sure if we have a "Billary" Clinton Whitehouse, global warming would be the least of our problems.

The Nobel prize doesn't and hasn't meant anything since Carter and Yasser Arafat were "awarded" it.
It amazes me that people like Mother Theresa and Albert Schweitzer spent decades working with the poor in terrible conditions, and Gore wins for making a movie about the hoax that is global warming.
What does that have to do with peace? In fact as Vaclav Klaus, the Czech President said about it, "The relationship between his activities and world peace is unclear and indistinct...It rather seems that Gore's doubting of basic cornerstones of the current civilization does not contribute to peace."
I couldn't agree with him more.
Alfred Nobel must be rolling over in his grave...
Where I live (on the equator, mind you) we're convinced we're suffering from global 'cooling'. My boss has lived in Africa for 20 years and it's never been so cold as this year. Makes me chuckle.
Good story you just posted (ESPN). Thanks for that.
Have a good one!
