Al Gore is a thoroughly deserving winner of any peace prize. He has done more than any other individual to galvanise an apathetic public into finally realizing that human-induced climate change is the greatest threat to 'public health and human progress' that the world has ever faced. Hopefully, we might now be able to redirect the earth's precious resources from our previous obsessions of competing against and/or killing each other and actually work together in a desperate race to build solutions.

Gore would be the first to admit he doesn't have all the answers and that some of his data is no doubt open to debate, but in this shallow and media driven world it has been his film, An Inconvenient Truth, that has cut through to the masses in a way that all others before him have failed to do.

A director of something called the Competitive Enterprise Institute is obviously going to be gunning for Gore, or anyone else that dare suggests that his greed is good philosophy is destroying the planet.

It always makes me laugh. Free market types have this idea that if something is bad then people won't do it so Governments shouldn't stop anything. Any Government regulation is bad and by extension anyone pushing for Government regulation must be evil. You can still buy DDT in the US but I bet you the author does not use it at the dinner table when there is a fly buzzing his dinner.

DDT, Global warming, Evolution, AIDs and Smoking all seem to be on the check list of things these nutters deny.

Oh and guess what, EXXON fund's the Author funny that.

A peace prize from the inventor of dynamite.

A sham award for a failed political hack.

Divine justice.

The charade is now complete.
