What does Global Warming have to do with Peace?

The Nobel Peace Prize 1901-2000

The quote you included in your post had this:

Different kinds of statesmen were awarded the Peace Prize, some for addressing global concerns, others for helping to solve regional crises, still others for the general principles they espoused. Global concerns? Global warming? I'm guessing here that perhaps the people who nominated Gore believe that global warming is a global concern.

The quote also included this:

... although the Norwegian Nobel Committee never formally defined "peace," in practice it came to interpret the term ever more broadly. This approach could have its pitfalls, but avoided the danger of locking the committee into fixed categories and gave the committee flexibility to adapt to new concerns.
