Al Gore's Nominated For What?!
Al Gore is being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. So much for credibility.
Now that the eco-freaks have tied "climate change", Kyoto, and world peace together, anybody who would claim that Al Gore is a quack, must be a threat to world peace... right?
Which would explain why the media and Liberals are trying to make Stephen Harper look poor by rehashing his past opposition to the Kyoto accord.
The problem with that argument is that Harper was right, Kyoto was and is economically unachievable in Canada, and it's been demonstrated for the last ten years. And Al Gore is a quack. His movie is nothing more than promotion for himself and his personal ideological agenda. He loves everybody asking him "are you running for President?" And a Nobel Peace Prize would do wonders for that!
Imagine, a Nobel Peace laureates running for President. Surely he'd be just the man to solve the "quagmire" in Iraq. Hell, his foreign policy could be exactlty the same as his domestic policy. It's the economy, stupid.
Iraq's sectarian bloodshed could be easily solved if all Iraqi's realized that their national economic dependence on oil is evil - just like all good green Americans. Once this was accomplished there would be little wealth left for any factions to fight over. Problem solved!
Not to mention that pesky Katrina, it was all George W. Bush's fault (because he's the cause of climate change). If Gore had been President the whole deal would have been averted, and the Saints would be playing in Miami this weekend!
But probably not, so I digress.
Two Norwegian parliamentarians have nominated former U.S. Vice President Al Gore for the Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness of climate change.
[...]
"I think climate change is this century's most important and most threatening environmental issue, and I think Al Gore has made a difference in putting climate change on the global agenda," Conservative MP Boerge Brende told Reuters.
[...]
"Al Gore with his movie and his dedication and his active diplomacy among world leaders has really moved the issue forward," said Brende, environment minister in 2001-2004.
[...]
Brende teamed up with a political opponent from the Socialist Left party, Heidi Soerensen, to nominate Gore for the peace prize by the February 1 deadline for nominations.
They also nominated Inuit campaigner Sheila Watt-Cloutier of Canada for her work to show how climate change is affecting the lives of the Arctic indigenous people, Brende said.
