Petition: Strip Gore and IPCC of the Nobel Prize

[gdfernan]

There is a petition at this site with close to 1500 signatures as of now requesting that the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Al Gore and the IPCC be stripped from them.

I want to know what the readers opinion of this petition is?

1. Strip the prize from Gore and IPCC so that the prize itself retains its integrity.
2. Considering the people the prize has already been awarded to {Yasser Arafat; Rigoberta Menchu (Liar); the reciepient in 2009} the Nobel Prize is an irrelevant and ideologically biased prize and Gore and the IPCC are just as qualified as the other charlatans who have received it in the recent past

The Nobel 'Peace' prize is one of those ironies of modern life - from Wikipedia:

" Alfred Bernhard Nobel (Stockholm, Sweden, 21 October 1833 – Sanremo, Italy, 10 December 1896) was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite. He owned Bofors, a major armaments manufacturer"






It is now used as a political gimmick by an award committee that appears to have been appointed using the climate science methodology for setting up peer review boards. This is a pity as it has devalued the award for those who have richly deserved it in the past.

I'm pretty sure they don't ever strip people of their prizes. For real irony look at the guy that made DDT. Given a prize, then the world turned on DDT, now many realize that the ban on DDT killed millions of people and that DDT really was a pretty good thing.

If the prize had any legitimacy left in it, maybe the effort would be worth it.
