Al Gore, Ignoble Laureate

Political Correctness: The front-runners for this year's Nobel
Peace Prize are a couple of global warming alarmists. With dozens
of wars raging, the committee couldn't find a single person
laboring honorably for peace?



Once a symbol of distinction, this honor has plumbed shameful
depths in recent years. A county fair blue ribbon has more
significance. Since 1990, winners include terrorist Yasser
Arafat, fraud Rigoberto Menchu, foreign-policy incompetents Jimmy
Carter and Kofi Annan, unreconstructed communist Mikhail
Gorbachev and the useless Mohamed ElBaradei.

Pulling the world apart, not together, with his global warming
claims.

Each year, the Peace Prize committee has a chance to redeem
itself, yet it never seems up to the task. It looks like 2007
will be no exception. Later this week, say reports, it will name
as this year's co-winners Al Gore and Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a
Canadian who has drawn attention to what she believes are climate
change's effects on Arctic communities.



It will be interesting to see how those two will be linked to
anything resembling the promotion of peace.



Neither can meet the committee's qualifications by being "the
person who shall have done the most or the best work for
fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of
standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace
congresses."



On the contrary, Gore, Watt-Cloutier and their eco-activist
allies have created a divide where none should exist. They have
fostered an us-against-them world where global-warming skeptics
must be subdued by the global-warming believers.



The two sides cannot live in tranquility by agreeing to disagree:
Doubters must be mocked, maligned and marginalized.



In fact, it would be hard to find a less deserving recipient than
Gore, a man who has:



. Lied repeatedly about the existence of a scientific consensus
that man's emissions of greenhouse gases are warming the Earth.
Skeptics are easy to find, as only a few minutes of riding the
Information Superhighway that Gore thinks he built will show .



. Made a propaganda film about climate change that a British
court has deemed to be so biased that teachers there who show it
must warn students about its subjectivity.



. Possibly been driven to his climate alarmism because of
something called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In a piece
for IBD last year, Dr. Henry I. Miller, a physician and fellow at
the Hoover Institution who worked at both the National Institutes
of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, laid out a good
case that the former vice president "is disturbed."



Well, maybe he is, maybe he isn't. We're not experts. But the guy
has already won an Oscar; does the Nobel committee really need to
stoke the fires of his vanity even more?



. Continued to duck invitations to debate his theory. "We have
tried, repeatedly, to contact Gore directly, with registered
letters and calls to his office, and have never received a
reply," Joseph Bast, president of the Heartland Institute in
Chicago, told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Steve Huntley.



Huntley notes that earlier this year Gore "canceled an interview
with Denmark's largest newspaper when he learned it would include
questions from Bjorn Lomborg, respected author of 'The Skeptical
Environmentalist.' "



Does Gore know what so many have missed in their environmental
zealotry - that his theory's many flaws cannot be defended? Is he
aware that the errors of his global warming ideas would be quite
easily exposed by a knowledgeable skeptic?



Just what the Nobel committee really needs - another fraud in its
pantheon of laureates. If Gore wins the prize as expected, it
will mark another step in the long, politicized decline of a once
highly regarded international award. How sad.

In a 1996 report by the UN on global warming, two statements were
deleted from the final draft. Here they are:
1. "None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that
we can attribute  the observed climate changes to increases in
greenhouse gases."
2. "No study to date has positively attributed all or part of the
climate change to man-made causes"
