Now, can anyone explain to me what Al Gore, and the environment has to do with bringing peace into the world?

I understand the environment is an issue, but such long-time impact, shouldn't we all be trying to make life bearable and learning how to live with each other? Isn't that what PEACE is all about?
How can these Nobel judges ignore there is a war of some sort going on almost every country of the world? I doubt between 50 applicants, there wasn't anyone making their bit to make the world a better place.
We need to learn how to live with each other. How to tolerate and accept differences. Racial, religious, economical. We need to learh how to help ourselves.
More than using my simple words, I'll take George Carlins ones, the guy is a pure genious!
"We're so self-important. So self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these fucking people kidding me? Save the planet, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven't learned how to care for one another, we're gonna save the fucking planet?"
…
"Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked. Difference. Difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun?"

This looks like an attempt to once again turn the focus on americans and how they always supposedly always save the day. And because they messed up big time with the problems that really matter, lets give them an effing Peace Nobel Prize for saving some trees!
I am both shocked and disgusted. Al Gore and company will get US$ 1.000.000,00 along with the prize, and for what? Maybe buy some trees, trying to compensate all this CO2 we've been using mindlessly. Then we will have another thousand years of human people on Earth. Probably killing eacher, fighting for money and power. Because instead of learning how to be togheter, we learnt how to not print an e-mail, or turn off the water while brushing your teeth.

A lot of people have been talking about this Agape. And wondering why? One of the possible explanations seems to be ( or at any rate is believed by some newspaper columnnists to be): that the Nobel Committee has such a profound dislike of George W Bush, that this particular award is more likely to be their way of taking another crack at him, than of offering a commendation to Gore....
Which suggests to me, sadly, that the Nobel people too must be rather petty!
Acho que você ficou realmente irritada com esta notícia... Não é para menos, eu concordo.
we've got to care each other, care each other... Bono used to sing about it...
