October 26, 2007 Al Gore and the Nobel Posted by John Steele Gordon at 04:10 PM EST After Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize there was considerable discussion here about whether he deserved it. I thought not, as it seems to me that his contribution to the problem (assuming it is a problem) of global warming has been highly propagandistic and intellectually dishonest. It seems I’m not alone in this attitude. John Christy, a member of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that was the co-winner of the prize, doesn’t think very much of Al Gore’s labors in the vineyards of climate change either. Here’s what he said on CNN the other day.
