Al Gore?
|
The Nobel Prize winner?
The Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 was awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former US Vice President Al Gore for their efforts to obtain and disseminate information about the climate challenge.
Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC. Review is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment of current information. IPCC aims to reflect a range of views and expertise.
But I guess that doesn't make him a scientist. He's just in the company of scientists.
It's a little like pinning the invention on the Internet on him. He made one slip of the tongue in a speech and that's all some people remember. And now, a few years later you can say anything and the next day deny it and it will slide if you are the right person.
With Facebook catching everything a middle schooler with poor judgement wishes to reveal about themselves or their friends it might get more difficult to find any candidates who will survive under that kind scrutiny.
That is, if everything counts for everybody.
