i was very disappointed with the nobel foundation for awarding the 2007 peace prize to al gore. i think it really cheapens the whole concept of the nobel peace prize and lessens the achievements of some of the more deserving winners in previous years.
whilst gore has raised some very important issues and brought much needed widescale publicity to the global warming debate, he has done so in a manner that is manipulative, sensationalist and at times, dishonest.
so i think in light of all this, to have awarded the nobel peace prize to al gore was a hasty, ill-conceived decision on part of the nobel prize committee. there are so many doubts and holes in al gore's position that he has just ignored and covered up with hyperbole, savviness and deception....
