That should read "Nobel Peace Prize" really, but it might as well say "Peach" because I have no idea what this is about. We all know Gore has been pretty active in the whole global warming thing in recent years. His hair has changed, his weight has fluctuated, his clothing style has mutated, his accent has deepened, but Al Gore has been remarkably consistent in his message that the world is doomed due to global warming. I admire his tenacity and sense of mission. I've never really been drawn to the man, but that might be because he's a politician, even if retired in a way (at least from public office).
The thing I don't get is why he is sharing the Peach Prize. I mean Peace Prize. (My fingers have a mind of their own.) And it's not the sharing, it's the Peace Prize thing. Didn't Linus Pauling win that too? It's not like it's always about peace, but I have no idea what crusading against global warming has to do with peace. Perhaps it unifies the world in a common cause, thus bringing us together in brotherly love and kindness (like happens in a lot of science fiction stories).
So, I'm looking for answers. I'm guessing George Bush wasn't on the short list this year. Of course, Jimmy Carter won it a few years ago and I think Georgia's known as the Peach State, so maybe it all makes sense in the end.

Go here for an answer to my question of what connection there is between global warming stuff and the Peace Prize: http://truewilderness.blogspot.com/2007/10/peach-prizes.html
My response is also posted as a comment to that blog entry.
It's a good answer with sources imbedded. I still am not convinced, but that is an afront on the Nobel committee, not on trogonpete.
