Wha? This makes little sense, even factoring in my drunkeness. Peace prize for climate change?

It doesn't seem right to me. While I admire his work, he doesn't exactly fit into the category.

Giving him the Peace Prize would imply that we have a "War on Nature", and I know we have the "War on Terror" and "War on Drugs", but that's just ridiculous.

Surely, a Peace Prize is for work on/in Peace

Maybe global warming is responsible for crop growth and increased extremism in the middle east.

Don't worry he just got the prize.

My God how ridiculous it is...

For highlighting an issue that may lead to mass migrations and competition for resources that may lead to future conflicts over territory ...OK some merit in that , but winning a nobel prize for it....bollox
