Michelle Malkin notes [1] that Al Gore could be the next Nobel Peace Prize recipiant:
Oh, mega-crikey [2]:
The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize could go to a climate campaigner such as ex-U.S. Vice-President Al Gore or Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier, reinforcing a view that global warming is a threat to world security, experts say.
The winner of the $1.5 million prize, perhaps the world’s top accolade, will be announced in Oslo on October 12 from a field of 181 candidates. The prize can be split up to three ways.
“There are reasonably good chances that the peace prize will be awarded to someone working to stop the dramatic climate problems the world is facing,” said Boerge Brende, a former Norwegian environment minister.
He noted that the U.N. Security Council, the top forum for debating war and peace, held a first debate in April about how far climate changes such as droughts, heatwaves or rising seas will be a spur to conflicts.
“We have many good candidates for the prize and we are approaching a decision,” said Geir Lundestad, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute where the five-member committee meets.
Says Michelle:
Just when you thought Al Gore’s head couldn’t get any bigger…
All that goes to prove, Michelle, is that there is no limit to stupidity. Awarding such a prize to Mr. Gore, will ultimately point to the irrelevance of the Nobel peace prize. I’ve been saying that it’s irrelevant, for several years now. This, I think, would prove it.
