The prize money is 10 million SEK (~US$1.56 million). If that amount of money is adequate to "save the planet," then global warming is more of a hoax than even the most outspoken global warming skeptic would have asserted. On the other hand, if global warming is real, then that amount of money will be utterly ineffective to "save the planet."Al Gore's acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize tarnishes Al Gore's reputation, as well as that of the committee that awards the prize, as it shows they both have no qualms about violating Alfred Nobel's will to award a prize for pacifism.
