Oops, I am full of crap. The Nobel site says that only certain people can submit nominations. But the list of nominators includes "professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes" and I think any of those people can nominate anyone they want. Basically, Gore's nomination means a university professor wrote a letter.Janysc wrote:

In the case of Gore, more than just a university professor wrote a letter. A Conservative Member of the Norwegian Parliament nominated Gore -- Boerge Brende.san4 wrote:

Not sure if this is a response to my post, I'll clarify anyway. The point I was trying to make was. Even if Gore had got into power, the lobbyists, particularly the oil and motor industry lobbyists and existing administration he would have been over seeing, would have forced his hand on not reducing CO2 emissions. It could potentially start a downward slope for the US economy if the measures he is calling for now, were actually were put in place 12 years ago. (Cutting of emissions from manufacturing plants etc) No president wants to be remembered for messing the economy. I also believe that Gore would have went into Iraqi too. He would have listened to the strategists; push for the security of the oil and hence the security of the US economy. Thats just my opinion though. Guess we will never know what Gore would have done. I just reckon he wouldn't have acted very different himself had he been in power. Its easy to stand on the side line and say how you would have done it.liquix wrote:

I give up.... As I've said before, most of the damage from the global warming issue is a slow enough process that most of us here won't see many repercussions in our lifetimes. Yet, in the pursuit of complacency and decadence, much of humanity would rather sacrifice the future for a comfortable present.ATG wrote:
