And people say I'm crazy for believing in Jesus and His soon return. Talk
about propaganda. Read it and weep.

Subject: The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 - Reflections from PREDA and Fr. Shay
Cullen, Philippines # 349
>
> The Nobel Peace Prize 2007
> (Fr. Shay's columns are published in The Manila Times
> and several other publications,
> copy at no cost as is with acknowledgement)
>
> Wuzburg, Germany
> Last week the Philippine bureau chief of Reuters news agency called
> me in Germany on my cellphone the day the Noble Peace Prize was to be
> announced. I was on a speaking tour advocating children's rights and
> Fair Trade. The journalist was checking my number and asked if I had
> heard any news about winning the Nobel Peace Prize since I was
> nominated three times. "Nothing could be so unlikely at this time". I
replied.
>
> The Nobel Peace Prize awarding committee members, based in Norway
> (the rest of the prizes are given out in Sweden), give the prize to
> those they truly believe have made an international impact on issues
> affecting peace and where the prize will do the most good and raise
> awareness and promote peace throughout the world. They deserve a
> prize themselves.
>
> Later, driving to the venue of my next speaking engagement I heard
> over the car radio the great news that Al Gore had been awarded this
> most prestigious of prizes. He shares the prize with the more than
> 2000 scientists on the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
>
> Former US vice-president Al Gore, 59, who lost the
> presidential election by a much questioned decision of the US
> supreme court that declared in 2000 that his 537 'missing' votes was
> official, has campaigned to inform the world about the dangers of
> climate change to humanity and world peace.
>
> Al Gore was much criticized and maligned during the past seven years
> and written off as an eccentric misguided crank by President George
> Bush as the irrelevant 'ozone man' for campaigning so hard for action
> on stopping global warming. He recently won an academy award for his
> documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' that told of the dangers of
> climate change. The Nobel committee has said of him, 'He is probably
> the single individual who has done most to create world-wide
> understanding of the measures that need to be adopted'.
>
> The Nobel Peace Prize has vindicated Al Gore and strengthened the
> truth and urgency of his message to humanity. He tell us that we have
> to change our wasteful ways and deal immediately with the causes of
> global warming and reduce the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere.
> We can all do our part, join rallies, sign petitions, phone our
> representatives to pressure government to act. We can do much to save
> energy too.
>
> It is these industrial agricultural and vehicle gasses, especially
> CO2, most coming from the coal fired power stations and factories of
> the developed and wealthy nations (China and India too) that are
> blocking the escape of the earth's heat back into space.
>
> The sun's rays are penetrating the polluted atmosphere and instead of
> reflected back out again from the rapidly melting ice caps they are
> being absorbed in the oceans and heating the planet. The earth is
> like a pudding in a microwave oven, it is being cooked by rays
> without let up. The Arctic is melting away.
>
> Al Gore and The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have
> verified this and put to shame those powerful industrialists and the
> world leaders who have ignored the inconvenient truth and brushed
> aside the call for action.
>
> The effects of climate change will be catastrophic in the years to
> come. There will be grave economic disruption as sea levels rise and
> millions of people loose their land, homes and livelihoods. Conflicts
> and cross border wars are inevitable as people will fight for the
> ever decreasing supply of water as the Himalayan and South American
> ice caps melt and the year round water supply disappears, most of it
> evaporating or pouring into the sea.
>
> Then after the drought the warm oceans will bring massive storms and
> torrential rain. The floods and the destruction of crops will follow
> on an unprecedented scale leading to mass hunger and more conflict.
> This doomsday scenario is what the UN scientists and Al Gore are
> correctly predicting and the Nobel Peace Prize committee has
> acknowledged and confirmed. To stop climate change, restore the
> balance to the planet is what will bring stability and peace. That's
> why Al Gore justly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize this year and the
> rest of us nominees don't. END
