Americans must stop buying furniture manufactured in China. China does not have any hardwoods, so they are buying coa wood from Brazil, causing the Brazilian rain forest disappear at an alarming rate. The Brazilians are not replanting the felled trees; instead they are using the land to grow a cash crop, corn for ethanol production. No more trees for corn!

Gore wins! Now come on Al, take the next step and run for President.

All the Americans and the members of the Democratic Party should celebrate and congratulate Al Gore for receiving the most prestigious price of this planet, Nobel Peace Price.
I am actually proud of both Al Gore and Bill Clinton for dedicating their lives to such important issues, after leaving the White House. What a fantastic team we had there.
It is in a such a contrast with the Republican politicians and actual President.

What a load of B.S. , his movie is full of so many inaccuracies that even a liberal judge told a school before they watch his garbage, they should point out the lies that were in it.
Lets see some other idiots who won this Award

1. Jimmy Carter. the worst president in the history of American, more people hate this idiot,than the one in office now!
2. Yasser Arafat, terrorist, need I say more.
3. Mikhail Gorbachev, communist
4. Nelson Mandela, corrupted offical, family of criminals
5.Amnesty International, terrorist supporters, American haters, anti- semetic.

This prize has no meaning, its a feel good trophy from a person who invented and has been responsible for billions of death all around the world. It should be renamed the "Death trophy"

If they had that trophy, it would go to Cheney and Bush for the innocent killing of 500,000-900,000 civilians. And let's not forget the 4,000 troops.
Just think, if Gore had not been cheated in 2000, more than 3,000 troops would be alive. And let's not forget the 15,000 seriously injured troops. They would be going to Guard duty one weekend a month, and not in the middle of a civil war in Iraq.

We need a real world leader like Gore in the WH. So much damage has been done to American credibility and prestige that we need real change.

Gore is the rightful Democrat to take the WH.

We must not forget that the Supreme Court stopped the recount. We must not forget that the FL voting rolls were purged. We must not forget about Ohio in 04. We must not forget that two partisan companies are in charge of administering and counting the 80% of the votes. We must demand real voting reform and a paper trail. If we want to save our democracy, this is where we start.

Some in the media are saying Gore can't be smeared in the media like in 2000. We know that Gore and Democrats were right. We know Gore is clean, and can't be smeared like new candidates. We know Gore understands the priorities important to our future. We need a proven leader like Gore.

Let's talk REAL security, shall we:

Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us

· Secret report warns of rioting and nuclear war
· Britain will be 'Siberian' in less than 20 years
· Threat to the world is greater than terrorism

Observer
Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.

'Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,' concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would define human life.'

The findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists. Experts said that they will also make unsettling reading for a President who has insisted national defence is a priority.

The report was commissioned by influential Pentagon defence adviser Andrew Marshall, who has held considerable sway on US military thinking over the past three decades. He was the man behind a sweeping recent review aimed at transforming the American military under Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Climate change 'should be elevated beyond a scientific debate to a US national security concern', say the authors, Peter Schwartz, CIA consultant and former head of planning at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, and Doug Randall of the California-based Global Business Network.

An imminent scenario of catastrophic climate change is 'plausible and would challenge United States national security in ways that should be considered immediately', they conclude. As early as next year widespread flooding by a rise in sea levels will create major upheaval for millions.

Last week the Bush administration came under heavy fire from a large body of respected scientists who claimed that it cherry-picked science to suit its policy agenda and suppressed studies that it did not like. Jeremy Symons, a former whistleblower at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said that suppression of the report for four months was a further example of the White House trying to bury the threat of climate change.

Senior climatologists, however, believe that their verdicts could prove the catalyst in forcing Bush to accept climate change as a real and happening phenomenon. They also hope it will convince the United States to sign up to global treaties to reduce the rate of climatic change.

A group of eminent UK scientists recently visited the White House to voice their fears over global warming, part of an intensifying drive to get the US to treat the issue seriously. Sources have told The Observer that American officials appeared extremely sensitive about the issue when faced with complaints that America's public stance appeared increasingly out of touch.

One even alleged that the White House had written to complain about some of the comments attributed to Professor Sir David King, Tony Blair's chief scientific adviser, after he branded the President's position on the issue as indefensible.

Among those scientists present at the White House talks were Professor John Schellnhuber, former chief environmental adviser to the German government and head of the UK's leading group of climate scientists at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. He said that the Pentagon's internal fears should prove the 'tipping point' in persuading Bush to accept climatic change.

Sir John Houghton, former chief executive of the Meteorological Office - and the first senior figure to liken the threat of climate change to that of terrorism - said: 'If the Pentagon is sending out that sort of message, then this is an important document indeed.'

Bob Watson, chief scientist for the World Bank and former chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, added that the Pentagon's dire warnings could no longer be ignored.

'Can Bush ignore the Pentagon? It's going be hard to blow off this sort of document. Its hugely embarrassing. After all, Bush's single highest priority is national defence. The Pentagon is no wacko, liberal group, generally speaking it is conservative. If climate change is a threat to national security and the economy, then he has to act. There are two groups the Bush Administration tend to listen to, the oil lobby and the Pentagon,' added Watson.

'You've got a President who says global warming is a hoax, and across the Potomac river you've got a Pentagon preparing for climate wars. It's pretty scary when Bush starts to ignore his own government on this issue,' said Rob Gueterbock of Greenpeace.

Already, according to Randall and Schwartz, the planet is carrying a higher population than it can sustain. By 2020 'catastrophic' shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war. They warn that 8,200 years ago climatic conditions brought widespread crop failure, famine, disease and mass migration of populations that could soon be repeated.

Randall told The Observer that the potential ramifications of rapid climate change would create global chaos. 'This is depressing stuff,' he said. 'It is a national security threat that is unique because there is no enemy to point your guns at and we have no control over the threat.'

Randall added that it was already possibly too late to prevent a disaster happening. 'We don't know exactly where we are in the process. It could start tomorrow and we would not know for another five years,' he said.

'The consequences for some nations of the climate change are unbelievable. It seems obvious that cutting the use of fossil fuels would be worthwhile.'

So dramatic are the report's scenarios, Watson said, that they may prove vital in the US elections. Democratic frontrunner John Kerry is known to accept climate change as a real problem. Scientists disillusioned with Bush's stance are threatening to make sure Kerry uses the Pentagon report in his campaign.

The fact that Marshall is behind its scathing findings will aid Kerry's cause. Marshall, 82, is a Pentagon legend who heads a secretive think-tank dedicated to weighing risks to national security called the Office of Net Assessment. Dubbed 'Yoda' by Pentagon insiders who respect his vast experience, he is credited with being behind the Department of Defence's push on ballistic-missile defence.

Symons, who left the EPA in protest at political interference, said that the suppression of the report was a further instance of the White House trying to bury evidence of climate change. 'It is yet another example of why this government should stop burying its head in the sand on this issue.'

Symons said the Bush administration's close links to high-powered energy and oil companies was vital in understanding why climate change was received sceptically in the Oval Office. 'This administration is ignoring the evidence in order to placate a handful of large energy and oil companies,' he added.

My note: Clearly, the climate is a real crisis. Just two days ago, across America, we had record heat. We need real leadership IN POWER to take on this most vital issue. For the good of America, and America's children, we must take serious action. RUN FOR PRESIDENT, VP GORE! PLEASE! WE NEED GORE IN THE WH. GO FOR IT, VP GORE! I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.

I wish there were about fifteen more Mr and Mrs Al Gores, as well as fifteen more Bill and Hillary
Clintons working as hard as they do to improve our Nation. What a good man and womman both of these couples are.
At this time the trophy goes to Al Gore. Maybe some day the Clintons will win honor for the work they are doing for Aids in the World.

God Bless both couples and America.

Lou Dobbs is less than thrilled. He's going out of his way not to look at the camera or answer Wolf's questions about the new Nobel Lauraete.

He just said, "You have to make a big leap from global warming to war and peace."

If the shortage of oil can start wars, then it's inconceivable to Dobbs that the lack of fresh water caused by human-induced climate change would cause wars?

Then why did CNN just do a story about Gov. Richardson advocating a national water policy...and the Govenor of Wisconsin saying you can't have ours?

Or why did the Bush crime family recently buy up millions of acres of land with huge fresh water supplies in Paraguay?

Yet Dobbs can't fathom why the rest of the world appreciates the science nor the world-class politician who saw the connection...and has shown the leadership to combat it.

I happened to be watching Washington Journal on C-Span this morning, and the vitrol of the callers on the topic of Al Gore's richly-merited Nobel was astonishing. There's more (and more fervent) denial about global warming among the right than I realized. I just don't get it; how is it that for them ideology always trumps facts? And why do they attack with hysteria edging on panic any achievement among left-wingers? They are apoplectic over the possibility that some good might come to Gore. They stumble and slur their words in their haste to condemn him and to denounce his thesis. The straw that held them afloat? Nine small disputable facts among the many thousands which abound in An Inconvenient Truth. How they clung to them! Their bulwark against the rise of the heathen left! Poor frightened souls. You have to wonder what they imagine they are defending against.

It is a little disappointing that he donated his winnings to his own company.......and I still don't see how buying carbon credits from him is going to make the world a better place for my children.

Vice President Gore was our elected President and things would have been a lot different if he could have served his rightful term. I admire his efforts for our world and he sincerely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. One of the previous posters mentioned a bunch of figures of the killed and maimed but the numbers weren't high enough. Also, one might mention the tidy sum of nearly 3 billion dollars a week that we are spending, multiplied by by 208 weeks(or more). Good grief!

I'm very proud of Al Gore and hoping and praying that he will take the plunge and run for President. he's already won once and he has come a long way in 8 years. no on else in this race could touch him on either side. he could be one of the greatest Presidents of all time.

you are as delusional as your president the chimp. bush needs to go and he is committing more actrocities than saddam ever did. yes, I said it and I'm serious. there are over ONE MILLION people dead from this pointless useless war. bush needs to go. he is a killer, a tyrant, coward and a madman. maybe some other concerned country will invade us and free us from this maniac. maybe they will drop bombs in our cities to spread freedom and democracy like we are in Iraq. maybe the rest of the world is afraid that bush will use the weapons of mass destruction that he has readily available to him. would you rather live in a war zone or live with a lunatic in charge? I personally would rather live with the lunatic and try to get rid of him by legal, ethical means. I'm sure the people of Iraq feel the same way. the world and the USA was better off when saddam was in charge. this war has accomplished nothing but death and destruction. or maybe you are someone who is profiting from it like bush. worthless heartless cowards.

can you imagine what would happen if some foreign leader came on tv like bush did over 4 years ago? sitting there like cheney's little puppet, eyes pooping out reading the teleprompter.... "George Bush has WMDs and means to harm us.. he and his family have 24 hours to leave America." and then the shock and awe....
no, you can't imagine it because no on in their right mind would do that. no one in their right mind would start a war like this for no reason. and then weeks later declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! that is a madman. that is a delusional psycho. saddam hussein has nothing on george bush in the crazed lunatic dictator department.

and then showing the dead bodies of saddam's sons faces blasted apart all over the tv. then the hanging of saddam on New Years day. this blatant display of violence a disgrace. if another country did this- we would be outraged. but because bush let those terrorists fly into the world trade center on 9-11, we will fall for any f$cking thing-right?

if Al Gore had taken his rightful place as President in the 2000 election, there never would have been a 9-11. he would have been paying attention. he has a heart and would never try to make money off death and destruction like bush. instead of showing saddam's hanging, we should be seeing the videos of little children dying in their parents arms daily in Iraq. of decaying bodies stacked in the streets. nothing but death and carnage. our poor troops maimed and killed so that bush has a pistol and an execution video which I'm sure he watches daily- the sick bastard. but the suck ups in the media are too cowardly to show what really goes on in Iraq. they have enabled bush from the start so why should they stop now?

I hope and pray that Gore runs.
I am counting on it.
I will work my ass off for Al Gore.
I will scrape out every dime I can for the Democratic party once he is in the race.

It's amazing how many naysayers there are out there about climate change. I guess it's scary, but it's even scarier if we don't act.

My congratulations and thanks to Mr. Gore, especially for continuing on as the naysayers get nasty.

Thank you Mr. Vice President for all the hard work you have done on global climate change. You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for the many years you have spent serving our great country while staying centered on the issue of global climate change. I agree with Governor Dean that future generations will thank you for your efforts to save our way of life. My very best to you, Mrs. Gore and your family on the occasion of this honor of the Nobel Peace Prize!

Vice President Al Gore will make an excellent president for our country. He has the experience,
knowledge and shows the care all amricans need
to get this country alive again. The people
needs a leader like him. I suggest open a WEB-PAGE
which may include the required forms to collect
signature for have him running for President.
Of course have to be printable and with the
correct adress to send the SING REQUEST through
US MAIL. USA NEEDS GORE FOR PRESIDENT AND OUR
PLANET'S FUTURE NEEDS MEN LIKE HIM.

I hear old Al, is using his winnings to bail out his drug selling/addicted son out of jail. Like father, like son.
