I'll bet not.

There are some folks out there doing real, meaningful work in environmental science. Why not recognize one or more of them for the actual work being done, instead of recognizing Gore for the show?

Al Gore won the award, and that's that. We are not on the Nobel committee and therefore have no say in the matter.
