The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It will be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’

Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change.

But seven years after his warning, science reveals that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in succession – with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between 43 and 63 per cent since 2012.Those who just a few years ago were warning of ice-free summers by 2014 included US Secretary of State John Kerry, who made the same bogus prediction in 2009, while Mr Gore has repeated it numerous times – notably in a speech to world leaders at the UN climate conference in Copenhagen in 2009, in an effort to persuade them to agree a new emissions treaty.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has awarded at least two Nobel Peace Prizes (Gore and Obama) based up nothing more than lies and false promises, demonstrating the committee has developed into nothing more than hacks with agendas. Many former Nobel Peace Prize winners are disappointed that the committee has diluted the worth of the prizes into nothing more than a political pat on the back. There was a time people were in awe of those who held the Prize.

Somebody (Wallace?) wrote a novel which was made into "The Prize" with Paul Newman.

It was all about Nobel Prize recipients and it was made in an era where Nobels were indeed prestigious.

Today even the non-Nobel Nobel in economics, well, that dope Krugman has one.

When they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama......well, if had known that's all it took, I would have gotten one long ago.

You can give yourself a Nobel.

Just make a change to your Wikipedia entry.

That's more than Barry did for his!
