The vice president won b/c of his leadership efforts to spread the word about global warming around the world.

He's a joint winner of the prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which does some of the heavy lifting re science.

Gore said he would donate his share of the $1.5 million that accompanies the prize to the non-profit Alliance for Climate Protection. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21262661/?GT1=10450

See, this is what real leadership looks like. Gore is doing for global warming what he did for the Internet.

He's a born leader and ahead of his time.

Unlike this man:

“I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together."

"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."

"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country."

"The future will be better tomorrow."

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

- George W. Bush

There are many nobel prizes. Gore and the IPCC did not win the nobel prize for science, they won the peace prize for their efforts to spread the word.

That puts Gore in this company:
Jimmy Carter
Kofi Annan
Nelson Mandela
Gorbachev
Desmond Tutu
Lech Walesa
Mother Teresa
Martin Luther King Jr.
Albert Schweitzer

How could someone that buys pollution credits for their mansion win an award for increasing awareness about global warming?

So the only way to effectively spread the word that a threat exists from global warming is to ignore the current system for pollution management (credits) and heat/power his home with sunlight and flatulence?

It's gotta start somewhere with someone.

Gore won the "Peace Prize".......Bwaahahahahahahah aha!! WTF has he done for humanity, I'll find the artical, but he basically advocated for people in poor countries to stay poor because if they had power (electricity, etc) there would be more people "harming" the environment....Peace prize is supposed to be about humanity.....it's a complete liberal joke and it started with Arafat and Carter.

He won that based on that inconclusive movie based on lies and scare tactics!

What are you talking about?

And you did say that the peace prize is a liberal joke? Do you always project that duality on things?....liberal or conservative?

We should all feel very proud when an American wins the Nobel Peace Prize. It is a tremendous honor and only bestowed after very careful deliberation by international experts. It's too bad that those "self annointed patriots" like Coach A$$wipe can't spew anything more that their kneejerk right wing biggotry. Coach is not a joke but a pathetic aging conservative zealot.

Way to go AL, congratulations.

Hey Joe,

Considering his living situation and the amount of energy he uses per month and year, he should not be the spokesperson for proper use of energy and helping the planet. Sure he can be a figure head but it would be like Ted Nugent advocating gun control.

He's a born loser. Clinton practically handed him the presidency. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. He'll probably waste the capital he has from winning this award.
