The Nobel Whatever Prize

So AlGore has won a Nobel Peace Prize. Has anyone taken the time to examine the criteria for the awarded of this prize?

When Alfred Nobel established the peace prize, he wrote that it should go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

In his will, Alfred Nobel wrote that the peace prize should, among other criteria, be awarded to whoever had done most for the abolition or reduction of standing armies. In its application of this criterion in recent decades, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has concentrated on the struggle to diminish the significance of nuclear arms in international politics with a view to their abolition. That the world has achieved little in this respect makes active opposition to nuclear arms all the more important today.

AlGore has contributed to significant "global warming", buying "I Can Pollute" certificates, while preaching his ecological religion, yet he's awarded an award that, according to the requirements, he wasn't even eligible for!

For those who don't keep track, the Earth's orbit around the Sun is not a circle, but an ellipse which periodically brings the Earth closer and causes warming - this has been going on for millions of years, followed by ice ages.

Massive hurricanes were supposed to rip the United States to shreds this year, but the only ones causing were 2 or 3 that hit Mexico.

Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill never won the award - I'm surprised that they missed out on Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot!
