The Nobel Prize winers will be announced this week. On Friday the Peace Prize will be awarded. According to news reports Al Gore is expected to get the Peace Prize for his work in Global Warming. In my view it would be a travesty to give any sort of award to Gore for his alarmism, but the Nobel committee is probably favorable toward anything that advances the cause of socialism. The Nobel Prizes for scientific achievement are significant, but the Peace Prize is political and is a joke, given that it has been awarded to people who achieved nothing such as Yassar Arafat and Jimmy Carter. The real Award Presentations are made in Stockholm while the Peace Prize presentation is in Oslo.
