"Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and lay the foundations for counteracting it."

-- A.P. article (2007-10)

This award is an insult to the memory of Alfred Nobel, the actual scientist for whom the prize is named. The earth has always experienced significant changes in surface temperature due to cyclic fluctuations in solar radiation, volcanic activity, ocean currents and other natural causes. Man-made effects are miniscule by comparison.

A British court has recently agreed with a concerned school administrator that Al Gore's movie is an "alarmist political film" which is filled with "scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush".

The theory that global warming is primarily "man made" is simply a self-serving ploy to justify an expanded role for the world government bureaucracy, including political mandarins like Al Gore. It is another episode in the elite eco-socialist Earth Charter program for better herd management.
