Al Gore and the IPCC have won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I believe the climate has been changing for the last 12,000 years since the last Ice Age...getting warmer (with a few mini ice ages exceptions due to solar minimums or big volcano eruptions) all that time.
No SUV’s around till the last decade.
My great grandfather wrote a letter to his brother in law during the Civil War when he was in the Grand Army of the Republic, and reported that the temperature that July, 1864, outside of Atlanta, Georgia, was 110 degrees in the shade.
A few decades ago everyone was agreeing we were entering another Ice Age and global cooling was the cry of the hysterical. Some regulations on sulfur emissions changed the picture. So maybe we should go back to putting sulfur in the air to tip the warming back to cooling?
(sigh) War (and Peace) just aren’t what they use to be.
He's far above now, just waiting to rain sleet, hail and blizzards down on his own country and Algore.
Veery interesting...and remember algorz callous regard for his tenants???

Slumlord algore
Gore owns and rents out a trailer in Carthage, Tennessee for $400 a month. In the summer of 2000, Gore’s property managers and family friends, Audrey and Charles Elrod, tried to evict tenant Tracy Mayberry (pictured above, with her husband) after she complained about a lack of repairs to overflowing toilets and backed up sinks. They claimed that Mayberry and family had run the place down and clogged up the septic system with toys and garbage.
After bad publicity, Gore overruled the Elrods, said the Mayberry’s could stay, and — claimed a Gore spokesman — fixed the place up. But Mayberry was not impressed. “Right now, I still say he’s a slumlord,” she said. “In my opinion that’s exactly what he is.” She said that the work was never completed, it was sloppy and that one toilet still leaks. She moved out, and seven Republican activists drove her and her family up to a new home in Lima, Ohio.
Postscript: Police were called on the Mayberry family twice in their first two days in Lima. First, for parking on their lawn, and second, for a report of a fight. No arrests were made.
You don't have to do very much except sit around and wait. Those very big 8.6 earthquakes around the western Pacific will entertain you with a great big volcano sometime soon. They have little volcanoes under water right now. THAT is what blocks the sun. Not my F-250 SD 4WD. I only have a 3" tailpipe. Volcanoes have a tailpipe between 5-10 miles across and their smoke goes straight up to over 50,000 feet.
If you can get a bag of volcanic ash, mix it in the soil with the smallest plant you want to see get big. My dad did with a 4" aloe tree. It's very big now. Like 30 feet! I want to see what a breadfruit tree does.
Don’t forget Carter...
I’ll bet those idiots at TIME make him loser of the year, too
algore-ithms got it ALL wrong!
HAHAHAHAHA! Zachary !!!
It has long appeared that dynamite
has either blown the committee’s heads off . . .
or bent them over and blown them into their own dark places.
Gore getting the Nobel Peace Prize?
Well, then he joins the ranks of an Islamic terrorists (Y.A.), a Black African Racist Marxist, nutcase former American President (J.C.), and other comic characters.
My prediction for next year’s Peace Prize, judging from the past selection, Mugabe of Zimbabwreck or Chavez down south.
Throwing darts at a phone book would get better recipients.
Mohamed ElBaradei and Henry Waxman: separated at birth?
No, you just don’t understand.
Let me make it perfectly clear, ok?
Global warming causes global cooling.
But global cooling does not always cause global warming.
Millions of years ago, dinosaur flaturence (excess methane from these early ancestors of today’s milk cows) caused global warming with caused the ice ages which caused the dinosaurs to go extinct, along with many thousands of species of plants and animals.
So, as is plainly clear, a global warming trend leads to increased numbers of species of plants and animals, which would be bad for Mother Earth, as then there would be more animals flatulating which would smell bad.
See, not so hard to understand either the new math or the new science.
After all, if you don’t believe a politician like Gore who cleverly profits financially from promoting global warming fears, about complex scientific subjects, then who would you believe?
But regardless, higher taxes are the solution.
I like volcanic eruptions in the summer, because then we escape from much of the 100-115 degree weather. Ash in the upper atmosphere makes a nice sunshade.
Don’t like them in the winter, as then the crops freeze.
You forgot the pig.
Al Gore winning the Nobel Prize is a joke. The Nobel prize means nothing anymore after Gorbachev won it... and the inventor of international terrorism, Yasser Arafat.
Liberal justification of it is based upon his “raising our awareness” to the problems of global warming. By this rationale, Hitler deserves the Peace Prize for raising world awareness of the problems of anti-semitism and genocides, and Charlie Manson deserves it for raising our awareness of the dangers of brainwashing cults.
