Al Gore heroically gave speeches and made documentaries exaggerating the potential problems associated with global warming. Let's see, should the peace prize go to Al Gore, who spends his cushy life promoting a left wing environmental agenda, or Irena Sendler, who saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazis in a Warsaw ghetto, was tortured for her efforts (and here I mean actual torture, not the rough treatment that sends many into fits of hysteria today), and then returned to saving innocent children, thereby risking further torture and death? Tough call.
Sadly, for the sainted international community as represented by our Euro friends, it wasn't a close call at all.
Irena Sendler lost out to Al Gore and those scientists on the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
I hope the people who have that award on their mantle remember this fact every day.
