eldavojohn writes "Former US Vice President Al Gore has been announced as a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on environmental awareness & climate change. He shares his award with the the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 'Speaking in Washington, Mr Gore praised the IPCC, "whose members have worked tirelessly and selflessly for many years". "We face a true planetary emergency," Mr Gore warned. "It is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity." He said he would donate his half of the $1.5m prize money to the Alliance for Climate Protection, reported the news agency Reuters.'"

    I can almost guarantee it was the same moderator who rated 2 other trolls and 2 other flamebaits in this discussion. Probably a newbie with an order of 1e7 UID (and probably low 1e1 age) who just got mod points for the first time.

    First: I am one of those "wingnuts."

    That said, I agree with you on this. That was no Troll. Someone's Karma should be "adjusted."

    Yeah, mod me flamebait if you like. I've got karma to burn just at the moment and if even one person starts asking serious questions because of that post - that's real karma not the slashdot version.
