Nobel loses all credibility by awarding prize to Global Warmicist high-priest!

The Nobel Prize committee effectively sloughed off all vestiges of legitimacy by awarding the Peace price to global warmicist Al Gore for his environmental propaganda. Included in the award, and appearing before him in the announcement is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Officially these entities won:

"For their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."

How does eliciting fear in school children, telling outright falsities (certified by the British Court), and limiting the growth and development of backwater countries promote peace? It doesn't. It does however; promote globalization and communism,
which is what the peace prize persistently promotes these days.

British judge Michael Burton cited nine reasons to label Gore's movie as "Political" in nature.

As reported by the Times Online, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/art icle2632660.ece:

Error one
Al Gore: A sea-level rise of up to 20 feet would be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland "in the near future".
The judge's finding: "This is distinctly alarmist and part of Mr Gore's "wake-up call". It was common ground that if Greenland melted it would release this amount of water - "but only after, and over, millennia."

Error two
Gore: Low-lying inhabited Pacific atolls are already "being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming."
Judge: There was no evidence of any evacuation having yet happened.

Error three
Gore: The documentary described global warming potentially "shutting down the Ocean Conveyor" - the process by which the Gulf Stream is carried over the North Atlantic to western Europe.
Judge: According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it was "very unlikely" it would be shut down, though it might slow down.

Error four
Gore: He asserted - by ridiculing the opposite view - that two graphs, one plotting a rise in C02 and the other the rise in temperature over a period of 650,000 years, showed "an exact fit".
Judge: Although there was general scientific agreement that there was a connection, "the two graphs do not establish what Mr Gore asserts".

Error five
Gore: The disappearance of snow on Mt Kilimanjaro was expressly attributable to global warming.
Judge: This "specifically impressed" David Miliband, the Environment Secretary, but the scientific
