Cheated former presidential candidate and eight year Vice President Al Gore nabbed the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, sharing it with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate.Gore, who also won an Academy Award earlier this year for his documentary An Inconvenient Truth, was favored to win the prize. Never has a man’s work presenting a movie about a slide show been so critically praised.
Skeptics who have challenged the global warming impact from man and the honoring of Gore are missing the larger mystery – how does a world peace prize turn into the green awards?
According to the Nobel Committee, global warming "may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the Earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states."
Wow, that’s a stretch.
Clearly, we are threatened by Eskimos and penguins who will be looking to usurp our habitat once global warming destroys their polar lands. Or is it that the populous at the Equator will run for the hills in an attempt to stay cool when the temperatures rise? Is Waterworld a reality we’re just not giving enough credence to? Well, now that we’re giving awards for things people do in anticipation of hypothetical models dreamed up by the Nobel Committee, I expect to be a finalist in next year’s selection for my long dedication to work with women in the 24-33 age range. In a world where so many women can no longer alone in crying after sex, have my tears been shed for naught?
