Al Gore and the Fading Importance of the Nobel Peace Prize

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore is another episode in the ongoing disgrace the process and politicization of the award has become.

Gore, who is attempting to position himself as some type of hero on climate change, doesn't seem to mind telling half-truths and exaggerations to attain his goals. As a result, he's awarded with the prize?

Yet, when you consider some of the other recent recipients of the award, like the pathetic Jimmy Carter in 2002, who, as recently seen in an interview with Wolf Blitzer, has no problem with twisting or making up things either. Both him and Gore go well with the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, who also unbelievably was awarded with the honor in 2001.

We recently talked about Gore being chastised by a British court for making assertions in his "Inconveniet Truth," which were not endorsed by the overall scientific community, and in no way offered sufficient scientific evidence.

The judge in the case said "that some of the errors had arisen in 'the context of alarmism and exaggeration' to support the former US vice-president's thesis on global warming." (You can view the nine errors identified in the film here.)

When you consider former winners like Martin Luther King Jr., The Dalai Lama, Elie Wiesel, Lech Walesa, Shirin Ebadi, and Nelson Mandela, Al Gore's name being included with them is like mixing oil with water. He isn't even close to being worthy of inclusion with those people.

The choices for the Nobel Peace Prize, and other Nobel prizes, like the one for Doris Lessing in literature, show the declining importance and unfortunate move toward political correctness, rather than honoring people that have made truly important contributions to society.

To award demagogues with these types of honors, has diluted the importance of what the Nobel Prize represents. The Al Gore propaganda campaign being rewarded has taken one more step in making the award the irrelevant announcement its increasingly becoming.

Hey Gary...

Why do I get the impression after reading your post about Al Gore that you are slightly to the right of Genghis Khan? I'm sure you are convinced along with the "Decider Guy" we are "Kicking ass in Iraq." As for your claim that Gore tells half-truths and exaggerations, what on earth do you call this administration's claims of WMD's in Iraq and yellow cake in Niger. I trust when the Commander in Chief decides to start WWIII in Iran, in common with all your fascist, neo-con friends, you will be the first to sign up for combat duties. But somehow, I doubt it!

Cheers/George
