President O'Bama Nobel Laureate...

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Many security experts believe that Climate Change poses the greatest threat to international security. As resources dwindle, crops fail, etc, etc then war is more likely to become a real threat. Given that the Nobel committee believes in man-made climate change (Whether it is real or not is not what is at issue here, so don't derail the thread) then it makes sense that raising awareness and organising to do something about it deserves recognition.

I remember that. While I have my concerns regarding the science behind global warming and humanity's being the key element of it, once you accept that point (and many, maybe most do) the logic behind last year's award did make sense.


If nuclear disarmament is the committee's hope, they're really in wolkenkukkuksheim [sp?]. The inevitable trend is -- and by the logic of self preservation MUST be -- towards an expansion of the number of nation-states with nuclear arms.

Turnig swords into ploughshares is a noble (nobel?) purpose and all that, but how often has history witnessed such?
