Al Gore for Nobel Peace Prize?

OSLO, Norway - Former Vice President Al Gore was nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his wide-reaching efforts to draw the world's attention to the dangers of global warming, a Norwegian lawmaker said Thursday.

"A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference," Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.

Brende said he joined political opponent Heidi Soerensen of the Socialist Left Party to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier before the nomination deadline expired Thursday.

"Al Gore, like no other, has put climate change on the agenda. Gore uses his position to get politicians to understand, while Sheila works from the ground up," Brende said.

During eight years as Bill Clinton's vice president, Gore pushed for climate measures, including for the Kyoto Treaty. Since leaving office in 2001 he has campaigned worldwide, including with his Oscar-nominated documentary on climate change called "An Inconvenient Truth."

Norwegian lawmakers are among the thousands of people and groups with rights to nominate Nobel candidates. Others include members of national governments, past laureates, members of the awards committee and its staff, and many university professors.

The winner is traditionally announced in mid-October, with the prize always presented on the Dec. 10 anniversary of the death of its creator, Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel.

^Eh, did people really know how dangerous and incompetent Bush was going to be two years ago? I'm not an American, so I dunno, hence it's a legit question.

I'm sure there'll still be a few worthless pessimists among us, who will deny it exists with their leaps and bounds of scientific expertise, critical thinking and evidenced thoughts. Yeah, I'm referring to a few of these silly pessimists at this site, in case you haven't noticed. ;)

Yeah if you've seen Fahrenheit 9/11, people expressed how outraged they were when he was elected, or atleast I think it was that documentary.

Yes, and how many of those were 18-22 college twats that had known nothing but Clinton rule? In fact, how many of the bitch and moaners NOW base their whole hate on "oh, we weren't in a war before!"? I'll bet 99% only know the first Bush through pictures in their high school history books. Very experienced people, right there.:mhm:

Oh, it's alright, Neb will do enough arguing for everyone. :lol:

Anyway, who says Gore DOESN'T deseve the award? Number one, how many people actually CARE who gets Nobel prizes? Not too many, other than hardcore followers of a certain recipient.
