I have no problem with Al Gore bringing up environmental issues, I think it does need to be done, however, I remain somewhat unconvinced that green house gases are the major reason for the increase in temperature.
I also don't think that the nobel peace prize should have been given to him in this case, he hasn't made an irrefutable argument, outside of going from town to town and collecting speaking fee's he hasn't done anything extra-ordinary.
In otherwords I question his impact, especially when you have to pay to see his movie or earn it.
If there was a year that no peace prize was awarded, this would be it.
It seems like a popularity vote to me.
