Nobel Panel Disgraces Itself With An Algore Moment

Congratulations to Al Gore. He is now the owner of one of the most worthless awards in history. The Nobel fell off the cliff when they awarded Yasar Arafat (the father of modern terrorism) the Peace Prize in 1994. [Link] Considering that Yasar restarted the killing before the ink was dry on the Oslo Accord, it's hard to figure where the "peace" part of his award resides.
The Nobel committee has stooped to a new low by awarding Al (the sky is falling) Gore the Peace Prize for his work in scare mongering Human Induced Climate Change™. Let''s forget, for now, how wrong Al is about Human Induced Climate Change™ (or Global Warming™ or whatever they are calling it now) let us just point out how many others should have or could have received the award. People that actually deserve it. People that put their own lives in jeopardy defending the oppressed and downtrodden against individuals and governments.
And the short list is long. [Link]
Giving the Nobel to a selfish hypocritical elitist wonk, instead of the truly valiant and deserving, diminishes it to the point of meaninglessness. But maybe it was already there.
