Why Al Gore doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Price

Okay, I know that this is my "Psych" blog, but my first college love was Political Science, and it will always be important to me. This is why I have to vent on one of the worst choices for peace prize ever.

First off, let me state that I am not in Climate Change denial. I just think our time and money would be better spent preparing for natural disasters (caused by climate change or not) than hobbling our economies based on incomplete science.

The real tragedy in giving the Nobel to Al Gore is that his view of Global Warming is more likely to increase violence and anonymity in the world than reduce it. His view is based on a global Marxist perspective of "haves" (those causing the problem) and "have nots" (those on the receiving end of the disaster). This is the same ideology that Chavez of Venezuela, Ahmadinejad of Iran, and Castro of Cuba use to enslave their own populations. Sooner or later these renegades are going to start using Global Warming rhetoric to defy the world community.

Who thinks giving these guys more ammo against America will bring peace to the world?
