Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work reminding everyone about global warming, on what is ironically the COLDEST DAY EVER. Actually, to be precise, he shared the prize with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which has funded the research of the colossal stacks of research that made most people whose opinions you trust on this shit see global warming as less of an "interesting theory Y2K-with-a-dollop-of apocalyptic paranoia" type thing and more of a "Well yeah, that's really happening" sort of thing. The Nobel puts Gore in a pretty distinguished cast of characters including Henry Kissinger, and nets him $1.5 million, half of which he is donating, the other half he is saving in a trust fund earmarked for future legal fees incurred by Al Gore III.
