If we need proof that we live in a fairy tale world, just watch the life and times of Al Gore as it unfolds.
Instead of the Nobel Peace Prize, they should have given him the 'Teller of the Biggest Whopper' prize.

I've been saying for months now that Algore will be the democrat nominee for President. The tip off was when he started shedding the pounds.

That an opportunistic politican as Gore should receive this "prize" over the works of 97 year old Irena Sendler, credited with saving over 2500 Jewish Children from the Warsaw Ghetto during WW2 and for keeping her silence of them after her capture and torture convinces me even more of the "prize" is nothing more than another leftist agenda oriented group.

Hmmmm. Gore, Arafat, Carter. I'm certainly glad that it's awarded in Oslo. My Grandparents on my Mom's side were from Sweden. Heh.

Al Gore and the Triumph of Ignorance

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore represents the triumph of ignorance. The award cannot be because of a lack of more deserving individuals.

If the Committee wanted to honor Americans it could have rewarded the efforts of Nick and George Clooney along with others on behalf of the unfortunate residents of Darfur? Then there are the efforts of former Presidents George H.W. Bush and William Clinton to help the victims of the Asian tsunami. There is ample precedent for awarding the peace prize for efforts to help refugees.

The decision to give Gore and the IPCC the peace prize instead of the physics prize demonstrates that the Nobel Committee at least recognizes that so-called “greenhouse gases” and “global warming” do not involve valid science. If global warming involved valid science than the physics prize would be the most appropriate prize not the peace prize.

But of course, greenhouse gases cannot qualify for the physics prize because “there is no atmospheric greenhouse effect, in particular CO2-greenhouse effect, in theoretical physics and engineering thermodynamics. Thus it is illegitimate to deduce predictions which provide a consulting decision for economic and intergovernmental policy.” (Dr. Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf D. Tscheuschner - “Falsification of the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effects Within the Framework of Physics”) http://www.arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0707/0707.1161v2.pdf

Professor Bjame Andresen of the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Professor Christopher Essex of the University of Western Ontario and Professor Ross McKitrick of the University of Guelph(Canada) agree with Gerlich that the idea of a meaningful global temperature is mathematically impossible so the claim of global warming is invalid.

We won’t know if something that can qualify as “global warming” is occurring until someone does some real math to confirm it. This math should focus more on ground and water temperatures which tend to change slowly instead of focusing on erratic air temperatures.


A British court has ruled that many of the claims Al Gore made in his movie are invalid.

Gore and Co. have blamed melting of Arctic sea ice on global warming but the evidence indicates the Arctic oscillation is blowing Arctic sea ice out through the Fram Strait between Norway and Greenland and the Pacific Oscillation is moving warmer waters to the vicinity of the Bering Strait where it is then drawn into the Arctic Ocean to replace the water that left as ice.

Al Gore and the IPCC mistakenly view earth’s energy system as being very simple involving heat and radiation. Earth’s energy system is complex. For example, when water converts heat energy into latent heat to evaporate it reduces water temperature without raising air temperature. As water vapor rises in the atmosphere its temperature drops as it converts heat energy into potential energy.

When water vapor condenses in the atmosphere its latent heat may warm the surrounding air. If water freezes and falls as hail its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which can damage objects on the ground. The potential energy water still possesses after it falls may be converted into electrical energy at a hydroelectric dam.

Humans may be impacting climate, but it has nothing to do with CO2 emissions. Urban heat islands are one of the results of the tremendous amount of heat generated by human activity. Desertification can result from clearing forests. Construction of dams and draining of wetlands may have an impact on local climate. Gore and the IPCC have diverted attention from these ways humans might impact climate to ways humans cannot impact climate.
