Why Gore Won The Peace Prize

I'm sure there were very few people that were shocked by the Nobel Prize announcement committee that Al Gore actually won a Nobel Prize. The shock was that it was under the wrong category.

The Nobel Prizes are categorized under six themes:

1. Medicine


2. Physics


3. Chemistry


4. Literature


5. Economics


6. Peace

Hmmmm, let me think. Now which ones of those categories does anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and Bush-hating ideology belong?

Of course with left-wing extremists, terrorist enthusiasts, and Democrat socialists, left is right, in is out, and up is down. With that kind of thought process, the Peace Prize aka "Piece Prize" is the only one that comes to my mind that is the opposite of what it actually is.

Take past Nobel Piece Prize winners, Arafat, Jimmy Carter, the Irish "I Want To Kill Bush" Betty Williams, for instance. Arafat wants Hamas to slay the Semites, Carter wants the world to side with terrorists, and Betty Williams wants to rid the world of the evil George W. Bush. What a crazy upside down world we live in.

It's just common sense, albeit rare among environmentalists, but this time they were right. Al Gore had to win in the Nobel Piece Prize category because it doesn't belong under the science category. Gore's solutions to a hysterical environmental propaganda are not based on scientific facts but desires and hidden agendas of eradicating capitalism and democracy from the globe.

How can anyone say that? Why, Al Gore is the epitome of jet-set, tree-hugging presidential election martyrs this world needs more of. I was even accused of being politically biased because if a Republican had won the Piece Prize I would be thrilled. How convoluted is that? The inconvenient truth is that Gore should not have won the Piece Prize because:

• Gore's theories has nothing to do with peace.
  
• Gore's global warming results are not substantiated.
  
• Gore's jet-setting to promote global warming have increased CO2 emissions.
  
• The money wasted on Gore's concerts around the world could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives in 3rd world countries just by feeding them.

How can a theory that 17,000 scientists worldwide disagree with be fact? Yep, 17,000 scientists around the globe signed their names to a petition warning against global warming hysteria.

How can a Danish scientist, voted one of the top 100 most influential people in the world in 2004 by Time Magazine, the 14th most influential academic in the world by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine, and 2005 'Young Global Leader' by the World Economic Forum 2005 no longer be considered a viable environmental resource? Bjorn Lomborg, the former director of Denmark's Environmental Assessment Institute, the Director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, and Adjunct Professor of the Copenhagen Business School has been crucified since he has come out against the emotionalism and knee-jerk reaction to the global warming theory? He was taken to court for his anti-global warming hysteria statements and vindicated. Lomberg's editorial in the Boston Globe titled "An Inconvenient Peace Prize" is a must read.

If you have read Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and not read "Cool It - The Skeptical Environmentalists Guide To Global Warming" then you need to balance your propaganda levels by reading the "other side." For instance, take the 'chicken-littled' story of the demise and possible extinction of the polar bears alarmingly noted by the World Wildlife Fund 2002 report and the 2004 Artic Climate Impact Assessment:

"Both relied extensively on research published in 2001 by the Polar Bear Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union. [T's note: Whenever the word "Union" with a capital "U" is used, be leery.] But what this group really told us was that of the the twenty distinct subpopulations of polar bears, one or possibly two were declining in Baffin Bay; more than half were known to be stable; and two subpopulations were actually increasing around the Beaufort Sea. Moreover, it is reported that the global polar-bear population has increased dramatically over the past decades, from about five thousand members in the 1960's to twenty-five thousand today, thorugh stricter hunting regulation.

Contrary to what you might expect - and what was not pointed out in any of the recent stories - the two populations in decline come from areas where it has actually been getting colder over the past fifty years, whereas the two increasing populations reside in areas where it is getting warmer."

There will be no drowning polar bears in our future. Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize is nothing more than a political statement, not rocket science. The MSM's, the socialists of the world, and the anti-American countries, and the United States Bush hatriots, wanted to show that they are still in control. The world is going to Hell in an handbasket and Bush is the reason for all of the world's ills.

But that too is a convoluted theory. The world is getting better and no one reported it.

[...] the joyous trends in health and wealth documented in the report indicate a gigantic leap forward for humanity. This is probably the first time you've heard any of this because--while the grim "Global 2000" and "Limits to Growth" reports were deemed worthy of headlines across the country--the media mostly ignored the good news and the upbeat predictions of "State of the Future."

But here they are: World-wide illiteracy rates have fallen by half since 1970 and now stand at an all-time low of 18%. More people live in free countries than ever before. The average human being today will live 50% longer in 2025 than one born in 1955.

To what do we owe this improvement? Capitalism, according to the U.N. Free trade is rightly recognized as the engine of global prosperity in recent years.

In 1981, 40% of the world's population lived on less than $1 a day. Now that percentage is only 25%, adjusted for inflation. And at current rates of growth, "world poverty will be cut in half between 2000 and 2015"--which is arguably one of the greatest triumphs in human history. Trade and technology are closing the global "digital divide," and the report notes hopefully that soon laptop computers will cost $100 and almost every schoolchild will be a mouse click away from the Internet (and, regrettably, those interminable computer games).

Good news is never newsworthy - only political statements and pro-terrorists propaganda. It's the only way evil can win. Everything is bad, come over to the dark side and it will be better.

Gore didn't win the Piece Prize - he actually stole it away from those in the world who are making a difference for Peace: The United States military and their Allies around the world making the world free and safe.
