The term "Global Warming" became that of a household name after the Oscar-award documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth".That is not to say it wasn't widely known, but Al Gore and Hollywood have had a hand in commercializing the likelihood of irreparable future events. On October 12--it is anticipated that environmental activists, Al Gore and Shelia Watt-Cloutier, could win the Nobel Peace Prize (Yahoo News). "An award once reserved for statesmen, peacemakers and human rights activists"(Yahoo News)
Something to keep in mind "If a campaigner against global warming carries off the accolade, it will accentuate a shift to reward work outside traditional peacekeeping and reinforce the link between peace and the environment."(MSNBC)
If predictions are correct and the two environmental activists bring the $1.5 million home, it can only allude to one thing: The environment is taking precedence on the global scale.
