Earth Blog Day or Why The Noble Prize Is Wrong

As D mentioned, the 15th is Earth Blog Day. This is an important day, and everything that can help us save the world (without saving the cheerleader) is important. I recycle whatever I can. Unfortunately, Israel is not as developed in this area as other western countries.

This brings me to another thing. Al Gore was announced to be among the new Peace Noble prize winners for his work in raising the public conciousness to the issue. I think that this is a very poor choice, and I know that I am on the minority about it. The reason I object to this selection is that Al Gore's interest in this subject is relatively new, whereas numerous people and organizations operate in this field for years and were not selected. True, he used his name and money to fund a movie about the subject. But, I can't help thinking that he "joined the club" or "rode the surf" rather than had a genuine interest. I tend to suspect him of having political agenda to become a president. If not in 2008 then 2012. I don't think that there is something that I would like more than to be wrong.
