Al Gore got consolation prize: Nobel peace

However hard Gore tried to won the elections, and however we might say he was taken out of his certain win (besides Fox channel), this was a weird Nobel Prize.

What is peace? This question seems to be fashion and Miss universe related, but depending on our definition of peace, this will seem like a weird prize to win.

I believe that the “judges” from the awards committee thought that Global Warming and Climate Change issues wore more important than the war in Iraq and in the Middle East, world hunger and violent conflicts such as terrorism. Ok, that is obvious, because they gave the man the Oscar. Ops, I meant the Nobel.

But what I consider is that the Nobel of peace is not only devoted to war and violence related - as the name might imply - but also to issues regarding the peace of the planet as a whole. So we might say that we, humans, are at war against the planet, and Gore tried to put a end to it, or at least open our eyes.

I believe this Nobel prize should be renamed for Nobel for Trying to keep the planet alive. Seriously! It would make much more sense, and be much more related to what the prize means.

    His movie rocked. Although there are some, not to say many, that do not believe in Global Warming.

    I have doubts about it, but I guess we better do something than to regret it.
