Nobel Committee Bypassed Holocaust Savior for Al Gore

As media do a victory lap over Friday's Nobel Peace Prize announcement, it seems a metaphysical certitude that few Americans are aware of the other 180 nominees for the award besides the Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore.

For instance, meet Irena Sendler, a 97-year-old Polish woman who saved 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto during WW II.

Hadn't heard of her? Well, don't feel bad, for since the Nobel Committee announced the nominees in February, there have only been 107 reports about Mrs. Sendler being one of them. By contrast, Al Gore and "Nobel" have been mentioned in 2,912. NewsBusters

Al Gore’s Fleeting Awards?
Yes, Al Gore’s got an Oscar, a Grammy, and now a Nobel Peace Prize.
But will the former veep be allowed to continue to wallow in his triple award-winning status? Maybe not.
The New Zealand Centre for Political Research, a regional think tank, wants Gore to give back the Oscar he was given for his movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.”
The call for the return of the award is based on an adjudication by a British judge, who ruled that the film inconveniently contained nine untruths.
PC for lies
The U.K. High Court determined that “Truth” was “alarmist and exaggerated” and must have a disclaimer to point out flaws, which included the following:

According to Gore, snow is melting on Mount Kilimanjaro because of global warming. According to the judge, there is zero evidence to support the claim.

According to Gore, sea level will rise 20 feet in the “near future” because of melting ice. According to the judge, the rise in sea level could only happen over thousands of years.

According to Gore, polar bears drowned due to global warming and were found swimming “up to 60 miles to find ice.” According to the judge, “Only four polar bears have recently been found drowned, because of a storm.”

According to Gore, the Antarctic ice is melting. According to the judge, the Antarctic ice is increasing.

According to Gore, Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming. According to the judge, that is scientifically impossible. Tailrank

Global Warming / AlGore Nobel Prize / Draft AlGore

The Web site JunkScience.com has raised its “prize” offering from $100,000 to $125,000 for anyone who can actually supply proof that human emissions of greenhouse gases are causing global warming.

In presenting its Ultimate Global Warming Challenge, the Web site states: “If you think it’s a no-brainer that humans are causing catastrophic global warming, here’s your opportunity to earn an easy $125,000.”

The challenge: “$125,000 will be awarded to the first person to prove, in a scientific manner, that humans are causing harmful global warming.”

As of this writing, the “prize” had gone unclaimed by anyone — including Al Gore — for more than 60 days.

Regarding Former Vice President Al Gore, the Nobel Peace Prize and 'An Inconvenient Truth':

"It is hard to say which of Al Gore's awards seems more improbable: his Academy Award, although he does not possess a single skill required for filmmaking, or his Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming, although he has no technical skills in that area and he has misled the world profoundly as to the danger. It just goes to show how good life can be once you officially are designated a victim of George W. Bush. Once Gore lost the 2000 election (before which he was scorned and mocked by the liberal world), the world fell over itself, showering him with wealth and honor. If only he could arrange to lose another election to a Republican, he could be chosen Pope, Homecoming King and Soapbox Derby champion."
