Hooray for Al Gore! You won another award you didn't deserve. Congrats! Al Gore won the Nobel Prize for his work on drawing attention to global warming around the world. I don't know how climate change awareness equates with the Nobel Peace Prize. Plus, the problem is EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT ALREADY! Who doesn't know about global warming? A better question I guess would be "who doesn't know that man is causing global warming?" Then I would raise my hand. The UN in 1988 started the talk of global warming with their scientists headed by Rajendra Pachauri (who was also up for the award), so there has been more than enough talk about climate change. Who hasn't heard about it, whether they believe it or not?
In a previous post "18. What I hate! pt. 12" I talk about how I remember when I was a kid the concensus among scientists was that we were in or about to enter an ice age. Since I'm not 70, this happened pretty recently. Within ten years scientists went from ice age to global warming. How does that happen? That can't be man-made. Cars and mills can't make the Earth go from "ice age" to "we're melting" within a decade. I also pointed out something that Al Gore won't point out and certainly has no answer for and that's Mars has been warming at even a higher rate than Earth in recent years. According to NASA, Mars has gone up .65 degrees celsius while Earth has gone up .60 degrees celsius in the same time period. It's true. Look it up. "Man causing global warming" isn't such a foregone conclusion anymore is it? In my personal opinion, the only thing that can cause such warming would be the Sun. Since the Sun heats all of our planets, then maybe the Sun is changing and causing warming of both Mars and Earth. Isn't that a simple reason for global warming on Earth and Mars? Pluto is even warming according to NASA. Now that's an "inconvenient truth" for Al Gore. I also stated in that previous post that I want us to eradicate pollution as much as possible because it's just common sense that we should try as best as we can to keep our air and water clean. Obviously pollution isn't good for you. It's not a dirty vitamin to take. We should all want clean air and a clean Earth. I'm sure 99% of us do.
So you right-wing fascist, Jesse Norman, who do you think should have won the Nobel Peace Prize? Well since you asked, impolitely I might add, the other favorite along with Al Gore, but the one who didn't win should have won. Irena Sendler(pictured above), an elderly Polish woman saved the lives of nearly 2500 Jewish children in Warsaw during WWII from the Nazis. She would sneak the children by the guards in ambulances from the ghettos and would give them to non-Jewish parents for adoption. She risked her life for these children from the Nazis. The Gestapo would later wise up to what she was doing and arrested her. They imprisoned her and tortured her. They broke her legs and feet. Because of her heart and bravery, 2500 hundred jewish children were able to live on to be adults and have children and grandchildren of their own. She's 97 years old. What a wonderful way to celebrate her bravery and the torture she received at the hands of true evil for the sake of Jewish children by giving her a Nobel Peace Prize. But she didn't get it. Al got it. Why did it take so long for Irena Sendler to be nominated in the first place? Only recently has her story come to light. Can you compare what Al Gore has done to Irena Sendler? Has Gore risked his life? Has Gore saved lives? Did Gore face true evil? Obviously not. Maybe it's good Irena Sendler didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize as to not keep company with Yasser Arafat, a person responsible for killing Jews. Yes, Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize once. I guess the people who vote for the Nobel awards didn't want to be known for irony by giving an award to a person who saved the lives of Jews when it had already given the award to someone who killed Jews.
