“”Yep. I stopped respecting the Nobel Awards when they gave the Peace Prize to Jimmy Carter for brokering the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty with the Norks.””

And included Arafat with Israelis Rabin and Peres in 1994....

Refresh my memory - I can’t remember that far back - 2004!

“”She shouted ‘SHAME ON YOU, George W Bush’ several times.””

“...Hard to imagine a group of “world business and political leaders” being happy to be lectured by a child. ...”

Yet they sat there and sucked on it... Instead of laughing in her face and telling her to go home and play with her dolls, they sat there, nodded, “Hmmm”-ed, harrumphed, and “Hear-Hear!”-ed and applauded.

Like good little lemmings.

If she wins, she will be able to afford to fly to speeches on a private jet.

I’m sure Trump will be as well. Guess which one has the better chance of winning?

The Nobel Peace Prize is worthless and meaningless thanks to Barak Obama

“has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis.”

Has worked hard memorizing speeches her father and George Soros writes.

Well, I am sorry to say that Google doesn’t seem to believe her speech was important. All I can find from the 2004 Dem Convention are the Obamas and Ann Richards. I do remember the young girl very vividly. Around 10 years old with dark curly hair. I WISH I could find something for you, but even youtube doesn’t have her archived.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched by a UN Summit in New York on 25-27 September 2015 and is aimed at ending poverty in all its forms. The UN 2030 Agenda envisages “a world of universal respect for human rights and human dignity, the rule of law, justice, equality and non-discrimination”.

"...It requires all nations to take climate action, reduce unemployment, strengthen gender equality and promote peaceful societies, to name a few, if the world is to eradicate poverty and shift into a more sustainable development."

When India and China, two of the main polluters clean their air....who will harness the volcanoes? Lofty ideas about equality among the genders, which use to mean male and female now can be just about whoever you want to be...equality equals whoever works the hardest, has the better brain, has more advantages than the next guy/gal....as Abraham needed farmers, fishermen, bakers,weavers, builders, shepards...and on and on....each dependent on the others...that is equality? Possibly. The U.N. does not have among its members...equality.... The circle remains unbroken.

Of course she is. Why not? Nobel Peace Prize has been a joke for years. I call it the “Liberal Tyranny Promotion Prize”. That’s more appropriate.

The peace prize is not Swedish. It is run by a bunch of socialists in Norway. From Wikipedia:

A Nobel Committee is a working body responsible for most of the work involved in selecting Nobel Prize laureates. There are five Nobel Committees, one for each Nobel Prize.

Four of these committees (for prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and literature) are working bodies within their prize awarding institutions, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, and the Swedish Academy. These four Nobel Committees only propose laureates, while the final decision is taken in a larger assembly. This assembly is composed of the entire academies for the prizes in physics,[1] chemistry,[2] and literature,[3] as well as the 50 members of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute for the prize in physiology or medicine.[4][5]

The fifth Nobel Committee is the Norwegian Nobel Committee, responsible for the Nobel Peace Prize. This committee has a different status since it is both the working body and the deciding body for its prize.[6]
