Whether or not what Gore preaches is true (I'm sure some elements of it are and some aren't) I think the awareness he has generated is very positive. Let me make that clear. But what in the name of Jesper Mattson does it have to do with promoting peace?

I was wondering about that myself. Looking for a reason, they may postulate that the work done on climate change is a universal issue and any work done on such a global initiative may result in more balance internationally, and result in less conflict. It would not be the first time that a global initiative was rewarded with the peace prize.
