and becomes king of the liberals (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21262661/)
I live hundreds of miles away from him, in a county that has some of the worst air quality in the North America--and yet, YET, I still can't help but pick up the smell of his self-satisfied flatulence wafting through the atmosphere.
Is this world so short on crusaders that they had no choice but to select this sweetheartbag's ever-expanding face to display all over the place.

Gore wins the Nobel peace prize... what a crock. I'm sure Mr.Blac er uh crocket will be along any minute now.

Mr Justice Burton identified nine significant errors within the former presidential candidate’s documentary as he assessed whether it should be shown to school children......
In what is a rare judicial ruling on what children can see in the class-room, Mr Justice Barton was at pains to point out that the “apocalyptic vision” presented in the film was politically partisan and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change...
But hell let's give him a peace prize anyway, even thu his movie was crap to begin with.....:aok

Let's not jump to any conclusions yet. The Supreme Court could still weigh in on this.

Whose surprised? This is the same group that gave Carter one.

Whose surprised? This is the same group that gave Yasser Arafat the no bell peace prize. It just further reduces the credibility of the prize committee, but the winner still gets $1.5 million.

I know...I saw it on Yahoo news and was about to post about it but Neubob beat me to it. That was my first thought when I saw it.
Never mind Carter, John's point about Arafat is spot on. Arafat getting a peace prize made it ludicrous.
Thanks re the range.

Other known nominations included:
1 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez;
2 exiled Bangledeshi writer Taslima Nasrin;
3 former Illinois governor and anti-death penalty campaigner George Ryan;
4 the group Tiananmen Mothers, which represents families of those killed in the 1989 massacre in Beijing;

I'll be bringing this up at the dinner table tonight for my kids. I'll show them this list and see if they can find someone more deserving on it. As you can see there is.
This lesson will be titled, "The Nobel Pease Prize is now a bunch of crap." Anotherone bites the dust. I am sure glad he invented the Internet or I could not have got this information.

Sakharov did work, earlier in his career, that would have made his bid for a peace prize questionable. His efforts to reverse the potentially catastrophic effects of his scientific ambition was admirable, but I can at least see how he's a mixed bag when it comes to this question
Solzhenitsyn, on the other hand, exposed a monstrocity. And you can deny it up and down, but I've had family members and close family friends that served in the gulags. People I've met, talked to, listened to--people's whose scars I have seen with my own eyes. These aren't traitors either, even though I'm sure you'll think of them as such. These are writers, artists, doctors. Normal people whose humanity was perhaps just a bit too strong for their own good. Even the hardest hardliners I've talked to have nothing to say when asked about Stalin's penchant for cruel and unusual punishment.
To deny this is just revisionist self-delusion, Pasha. This is my Rodina too, remember, but it's a shameful chapter in its history. To pretend that it's a lie is almost on par with the act itself.
I know you like to preach about the glory days of the CCCP, Pasha, but don't try to bull**** me. Thanks in advance.

I'm just curious as to what Al Gore has done in the name of Peace that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize?

Anwar Sadat should have gotten the Nobel they gave Carter. Sadat EARNED it, it was Sadat who took the risks, and paid with his life. Giving Carter the prize was not at all unlike giving Super Bowl rings to the player's agents.
-
Let us not forget that Carter is the first former President in recent history not to do the honorable and traditional thing for former Presidents to do. Keep their mouth shut, and keep their bellybutton retired instead of making a public spectacle of themselves. It's great that Carter devotes his time to "Habitat for Humanity". But he is NO LONGER the President, and HAS NOT BEEN for over 25 YEARS. He should do what tradition and honor calls for, and keep HIS MOUTH SHUT and his NOSE OUT OF FOREIGN POLICY. It is not the place for former Presidents to do what he has. He should be ashamed of himself, but I don't think he has any shame. After the debacle that was his presidency, he should just shut up.

A "monstrocity" was exposed by dr. Goebbels 30 years before Solzhenitsyn...
Solzhenitsyn's "work" is a collection of myths and fiction. Take a look at this: http://kampus.tomsk.ru/index.php?newsid=135
Did you try reading him in Russian? He's horrible.
Now he's a "Russian nationalist", a person who advocated Germans in WWI...
His political career is nothing but a matter of collaborationism. A part of a campaign against USSR in 1970s. Like Bzezinsky said later, they used "human rights" only as an instrument of pressure, no one in the Western leadership _ever_ cared about poor Soviet Jews.
Another thing is that becoming a "Russian nationalist" Alexander Isayevich openly said that all his numbers that he gave in Archipelago were sucked out of finger.
I have said that my family suffered enough in Stalin's times, but there is a certain difference between my GrandFather who kept serving after he was released and all charges were dropped and this home-made prophet living on CIA money. He moved to Russia only in 1993, probably after they stopped paying him.

It's quite silly to deny "repressions", especially for a person from a family like mine. But people in the West base their opinions on Solzhenitsyn's "works", seeing only one side of the coin. Yes, it was a horrible time, but, fortunately, we survived a much greater threat.
Here's a collection of interesting links in Russian: http://semen-serpent.livejournal.com/291277.html
The truth about "repressions" is open now, for those who want to compare it with Solzhenitsyn's bull****. And it's painful to see how this hallucinations become "Party line" now.

it has everything to do,
aprox 6 Billions humans populate our planet Earth today and growing,
its about how to feed them all, its about the future energy consumption, oil, nuclear, wind ect. We dont have endless resources, and all this
comming challenges could lead to fight not more for oil but for water.
With the help of global warming this problems could come even faster.
-
Maybe if the majority of those billions got off their bovine habits of sheer consumption for little if any contribution to progress?
6 Billion wouldn't be a problem not only if consumption was more efficient, but also if we weren't reduced to the planet's habitat. Global warming just taps at people's knees for a jerk reaction, without getting them any closer to realizing the full picture.

Lazs, we'll run out of space sooner or later. You see this yourself (unless I'm mistaken) in Kali. And instinctively people probably would rather have more space than not, probably on the scale of a continent or two (if they were left to choose).
And if this isn't true for most people, it's true for enough that all the space in the world is already too little.

Does ANYone think that the things Gore points to as the major causes of 'climate change' will still be the order of the day 100 years from now?. It would seem the fossil fuel issue will work itself out, then they can find some OTHER thing to deride capitalism about
-
moot.. where have we run out of space? why are we destined to? I can't see the future but... even without a computer model.. I see the populations of much of the worlds civilized countries declining. the pest hole countries will have war or famine or disease to thin the numbers... any of a number of things will happen before we overpopulate.
I just get tired of the knee jerk "the sky is falling" crap all the time. It never happens but a new disaster scenario is never far off of the last failed one.
I am waiting to see the "we have now run out of #####" announcement.... it never happens.
We would be out of about 100 important resources by now if you believed everything the alarmist have said in the last 5 decades or so.
run out of oil? oooooops... discover the biggest field ever next year... run out of water? impossible. every drop there ever was is still here.

b) preserve animals and theyr livingspace

Seems like the two points you have listed as 'b' will only result in the production of more methane--which is more harmful as a greenhouse gas than Carbon Dioxide.

Quite a few have gotten in trouble for getting caught getting a piece.......:t :D

gores movie is only incorrect when it talks about science or global warming or politics.
the photos are nice tho without the background noise. throw out the 25 or so minutes where he butchers science and politics... leave out the narration by the arrogant blowhard and it is a nice picture book.
"The great global warming swindle" was much better... lot's of real science.. no drama or pleas to be liked.. in fact.. no one but real scientists and real people who were there in the politics... no filler at all... gores movie is about 70% fluff and drama bits with no pretense of science.
I would hope his prize had nothing to do with the now discredited joke of a "documentary".
