There are times that I wonder just how crazy the world has become. Giving Al Gore the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on spreading anthropogenic global warming hyperbole, as well as the IPCC itself, is one of those events which simply leaves you shaking your head in confusion. How is this in any way working toward world peace? How is it that Al Gore could ever qualify, considering his past administration’s actions?

Alexander Cockburn does a beautiful job of analyzing the situation in an article at CounterPunch.org painting a picture that Gore would rather forget. It’s lengthy, but well worth the read.
