It's not just the conservatives questioning Gore's award

Or "whining," as someone here put it. Al-Jazeera examines today whether Gore's global warming stuff qualifies for a peace prize:

"Dr Alan Hunter, a lecturer in peace studies in the UK, said he felt 'the link between climate change and peace is really very tenuously made'.

'I don't think anyone has carefully demonstrated the link between climate change and war,' he said.

'There are long term predictions that it will lead to resource scarcity and resource scarcity could lead to conflict, such as fighting over water in parts of Africa, but I think that's accepted as being a few decades away.'

He told Al Jazeera awarding Gore the peace prize was a 'surprising decision'.

Jan Oberg, a former secretary-general of the Danish Peace Foundation, also questioned Gore's suitability for receiving the award.

Oberg described giving the prize to the former vice president as 'a great misjudgment'."

And as far as being branded a conservative by Mariel, I think it's just easier to post my results from the World's Smallest Political Quiz, thus demonstrating there are many places between right and left (I'm the red dot):
