Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in Oslo, Norway for their work on informing the world about global warming. The New York Times has the story and the About.com Environmental Issues site has a roundup.

All week end, several radio and tv “news” commentators have been saying Gore’s book/movie is just a scare tactic, implying that there is no global warming problem. I think there is. Am I crazy or are they?
YOU are crazy… There is no such thing…
Knower of All hasn’t any idea.
The evidence supporting global warming is significant. The quantity of carbon in the atmosphere has risen significantly. There is always some question and debate involving science. There has never been any scientist named “Knower of All”. That’s for the politicians. Why anyone would trust politicians over scientists on a scientific question defies reason.
There’s also no reason why we shouldn’t work on this anyway. If there is global warming and we don’t do anything about it, we fry out planet and our children. If there isn’t, we get to live in a more efficient, cleaner world.
Why wouldn’t we try to do something. We’d have to be idiots. Let’s not be idiots.
I may not know everything but nor do you, so stay out my biz!
