Just when you thought Al Gore’s head couldn’t get any bigger, Part II

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 11, 2007 02:07 PM

Update 9:50am Eastern 10/12. While envirozealots celebrate the Goracle’s coronation, Jim Hoft notes that University of Illinois has just reported that ice cap growth in the Antarctic is at its highest level in recorded history.

And Allahpundit says: “Look on the bright side: after Arafat, Carter, and Iranian marionette Mohammed ElBaradei, the award couldn’t possibly be more degraded.”

Har.

The Czech president speaks some truly inconvenient truths:

Czech President Vaclav Klaus, a rare vocal global- warming sceptic among heads of state, is “somewhat surprised” that former US vice president Al Gore received the Nobel Peace Prize, the president’s spokesman Petr Hajek said in a statement.

“The relationship between his activities and world peace is unclear and indistinct,” the statement said. “It rather seems that Gore’s doubting of basic cornerstones of the current civilization does not contribute to peace.”

Klaus said in a recent speech that environmentalists’ efforts to halt global warming “fatally endanger our freedom and prosperity.”

The Czech president publicly expresses doubt on what scientists, including those participating in the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, also this year’s Nobel Peace Prize laureate, deem very likely - that global warming is caused by humans.

He also said that rising temperatures may not matter enough for governments to throw funds at halting the process.

In a newspaper interview earlier this year, Klaus said that only Al Gore, and not a sane person, would say that mankind is ruining the planet.

Update 8:58am Eastern 10/12. And so it has come to pass

Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change jointly won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change and to lay the foundations for fighting it.

Gore, who won an Academy Award earlier this year for his film on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth,” had been widely tipped to win the prize.

He said that global warming was not a political issue but a worldwide crisis.

“We face a true planetary emergency. … It is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity,” he said. “It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.”

The win is also likely add further fuel to a burgeoning movement in the United States for Gore to run for president in 2008, which he has so far said he does not plan to do.

The Nobel Peace Prize citation is here, extolling the IPCC and Gore “for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.”

PJM round-up here.

Flashback…Al Gore: An Inconvenient Story…

***

10/11 2:07pm.

I noted the Nobel Prize buzz around Al Gore last month.

Well, the Big Reveal will take place on Friday, and Gore has canceled on a Babs Boxer fundraiser to travel overseas for the announcement. (Update: Or not? HT - HAHeadlines)

No doubt he’s already purchased carbon offsets for the trip…if he does indeed win the prize.

Don’t forget: You can offset his offsets here!

    Shameless plug alert! Tell me if you tire of them. My column on the “prize” outlines several recent recipients. Worth a read. Excerpt:

    And what about Alfred Nobel, the founder? What did he do to forward the cause of “peace”? He invented dynamite. That’s right! Not only did Nobel invent the modern-day explosive, he benefited richly from it. It wasn’t until late in his life that he set up a fund to try to stem the tide of worldwide violence, brought on partially by the device created with his own hands.

    Some call it penance. I deem it blood money.

    While I recognize that the cause of peace is worthy, I can’t help but become incensed every time I hear of some altruistic individual using a platform of peace to advance violence or oppression somewhere else.

    And remember: the absence of conflict under oppression is not peace. It’s slavery.

    Sorry, folks, but telling others how to change their lives isn’t peace. It, too, is oppression.

    And what, pray tell, does environmental extremist propaganda have to do with peace anyway?

    I am an environmental scientist, and I do not like what Al Gore is doing. His new movie has some inaccurate information and he isn’t helping the global warming cause by putting out false info just so he can get back to leading democrat politics. Liberals who do this kind of nonsense only make my job harder because the scrutiny becomes even greater, and it SHOULD. False information should not be tolerated in the scientific community whether it’s Bush Administration pressuring scientists or Al Gore narrating lies.

    If I put out the same information Al Gore did and lived the same lifestyle, I would become the laughing stalk of my field. Yep, not even a hug from Leonardo DiCaprio.

    Watch The Weather and Discovery Channels Stroke Gore’s Fire

    Of course, it’s really just a veiled cynical slam against Republicans.

    If Gore’s prize is true, look forward to (much much) more left leaning reporting on environmental issues from the Weather, History and Discover channels, and on Space.com and LiveScience.con — where much many schools have their students draw their science news and info from. These influential internet education sites don’t even answer you if you question some of their “facts” and columns! Windmills, Oh joy! Nuclear Power, Darth Vader!

    What dismays me the most is the utter unconditional adulation Gore (and Hillary) share among most black Americans (in my every day experience, say, eight in ten if that low) who SWEAR he was cheated as “our more sensitive and compassionate” president, and pray Hill will make up for it.

    While, especially in the early years of the prize, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to many deserving people, a few of the more recent ones stand out — as being awarded to totally unworthy, disgusting people, who should have never been awarded the prize, and whose personal corruption and behavior ought to have disqualified them (and would have, if the Comittee weren’t ignorant fools).

    These are:

    AL GORE, for being a global warming fraud, a gross and repeated liar, extreme energy consumer and hypocrite, and a Bill Clinton’s personal Chinese bribe bagman.

    MOHAMED ELBARADEI, for having his head in the sand about Iran/Nork’s nukes. Stupidity, cowardice, and/or duplicity ought to disqualify, not qualify one for the prize.

    JIMMY CARTER JR., for CREATING the Islamofascist terrorist state in Iran, for trying to sabotage his own country during wartime, and for being a now open, Jew-hater.

    KOFI ANNAN, for being duplictious, and for insuring that his son personally profited from the “Oil for Food” program

    YASSER ARAFAT, for being a terrorist, and for personally ordering the murders of two US diplomats in Khartoum, Sudan in 1973.

    MIKHAIL SERGEYEVICH GORBACHEV, Not because he didn’t deserve it, but because the award SHOULD HAVE GONE TO RONALD REAGAN or been jointly shared with him.

    THE UNITED NATIONS PEACE-KEEPING FORCES, for being organized rapists and worse, in Africa, and for refusing to intervene and allowing the genocides in Srebrenica, and Rwanda.

    LE DUC THO, for being a Party official of the government of North Vietnam, which started the Vietnam War, and which later VIOLATED the Paris Peace Accords by invading and conquering South Vietnam.

    All of the above winners of the Peace Prize (with the exception of Gorbachev) should be stripped of the prize and the moneies that accompanied it.

    I would be hesitant to make that comparison. I think that People Magazine’s list still has at least a modicum of validity.

    At the risk of sounding like a predictable anti-liberal, I must say I’m very surprised ANYONE would be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for putting out a documentary on global warming and for taking up the environment as a social cause. While I absolutely believe we could all do more to care for our earth, it’s not exactly mind-blowing that Gore gives speeches about driving hybrids and recycling. It seems extremely simplistic, unwarranted and needless to me for him to be singled out this way. Especially in light of the other nominations that Gore beat out for this prize, including a woman who hid Jewish children during the Holocaust. Ah yes, only in today’s confused and backwards world could eradicating gas emissions trump saving helpless Jewish children. I just can’t see how what Al Gore has done merits such a noble and esteemed reward as the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. Ya know, the same prize that scientists, literary giants and Mother Teresa have won.

    My thoughts - I do believe global warming is a problem which has certainly been exacerbated by Humans.

    What I don’t like is the almost cult-like belief that you are not allowed to question all of the science behind it.

    I also think Al Gore has no room to talk with the amount of private plane travel and SUV driving he does on a weekly basis.

    And as for his home….

    A 20-room mansion heated by natural gas. Add a pool, a pool house and a separate guest house, all heated by gas, and in one month alone, this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household does in an entire year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400 per month. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a Northern or Midwestern snow belt, either. It is in the South.

    Bush, for all his failings, should really promote this fact more if you ask me…

    Really who cares? Liberals give eachother prizes to validate their stupidity that can’t be backed up with facts. It makes them feel better about themselves. Kofi Annan won the Nobel Prize for crying out loud; a man who took bribes from Saddam Hussein. Bribes that were comprised of money that was to go toward feeding the Iraqi people - so there’s your Nobel Prize for ya. Apparantly all you have to do to win a Nobel Prize is: Diss Bush, Diss Jews or take food out of the mouths of starving children. As far as I’m concerned, it’s no different than the Academy Award. Will the Bush’s get even nominated for a Nobel Prize for all the good they’ve done for the AIDS crisis in Africa? I doubt it. No one even knows about what Mr. Bush has done, really. The only reason I know about it is because my family has a charity that goes toward helping children who are victims of the AIDS crisis in Africa. I can tell you personally that George Bush has helped our cause there tremendously ~ but he will never get the credit for it. No, instead some dip who whips the world into a frenzy over the earth getting 2 degrees warmer does.

A vice president earns x amount of dollars while a vice president who has won the Nobel Peace prize gets x+y amount of dollars. Thats why he has spent millions of dollars and “carbon credits” jetting off to Europe to petition himself for this prize. Its rather sick.

    Notice that global warming has yet to generate any Nobel science prizes. Apparently, the Swedish Academy is more grounded than the Norwegian parliament.

    Accordingly, I would hereby like to honor the science winners.

    The medicine prize went to Mario Capecchi and Oliver Smithies of the U.S., immigrants respectively from Italy and England, and Sir Martin Evans of Wales for developing techniques for altering mouse genes in the labratory in order to replicate human conditions, such as hardened arteries and diabetes, for further medical research. (I’m sure this must have the PETA people grinding their molars!)

    The physics prize went to Albert Fert of France and Peter Gruenberg of Germany for discovering independently of each other the principle of giant magnetoresistance, which is what has led to ever-shrinking hard drives storing ever-expanding volumes of data.

    The chemistry prize went to Gerhard Ertl of Germany for discoveries concerning chemical reactions on solid surfaces. According to press releases, these discoveries are behind the technology leading to the development of fuel cells that will in the future replace fossil fuels.

    In all, worthy awards.

    This has nothing to do with “peace.” It’s psudeoscience at best.

    Either start calling this prize “The Nobel Prize for Left-Wing or Progressive Activism,” or stop handing it out altogether.

    Just got off the cell phone with my “grapevine” sister who reports already at several primary schools and junior highs in Queens and Nassau County teachers are heralding Gore’s “contribution to peace” in the classroom as the best chance for them to survive on earth. Is there no way to legally counter this bilge if the younger generation really believes the peace prize is now an honorable and respectable title and any opponents are anti-green “ignorant bigots” as some teachers actually suggest?

    While I am pretty much a die-hard conservative on every other issue, I have to say that after reading documents from both sides of the dispute, I tend to agree with the IPCC.

    As far as I know, I’m the only conservative republican that actually believes in Climate change caused by humans. We can get together in 30 years and see who was wrong. Until then, I won’t argue about it, since pretty much everyone already has their minds made up, and you won’t change my mind.

    It’s lonely out here….

    Btw, I work in a coal fired power plant, and spent the last 15 to 20 years on the road visiting other industrial plants around the country (not just power plants). I know what gets dumped into the air.
