Gore Wins Nobel Peace prize






Huh... did I miss Al's peace initiative? Al is on the environment band wagon but peace? Here is what the committee said...." The Norwegian Nobel Committee stated in its formal citation that Gore is "probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted" to reduce the effects of global human-caused climate change. Both recipients were praised for focusing "on the processes and decisions that appear to be necessary to protect the world's future climate, and thereby reduce the future threat to the security of mankind."

No one believes more than I that we need to protect our planet. I am not sold on man made climate change but that doesn't mean that I don't think that we shouldn't protect the planet.
Personally I think that world peace is more important than global warming.

The sad truth is that there probably was not a great peacemaker in the world this year. We are awash in conflicts with no pearson , no jimmy carter and no mahatma ghandi's handy.

I was out enjoying the planet today. It was crisp and clear and peaceful..You wish everyone could have a day like that... and yes Al... in spite of your erroneous reporting-- you can see winter is on its way to Canada at least..

I think both are important and as difficult to achieve...

Perhaps one day....
