A Swedish sociology professor has nominated Edward Snowden for the Nobel Peace Prize. He says the NSA whistleblower could help “save the prize from the disrepute incurred by the hasty and ill-conceived decision” to give the 2009 award to Barack Obama.
‘Heroic effort at great personal cost’: Edward Snowden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize — RT News

The competition will be heavy:

Maybe we should nominate Genghis Khan….
NAH! He did more for world peace than any of the latest group has done. I think Rodman is a shoe-in.
People who should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but were not:
John Browning
Stephanie Kwolek
Gaston Glock
Eugene Stoner
L. James Sullivan
Ronnie Barrett
John Garand
The above folks either helped “keep the peace”, and contributed greatly to the “eternal resting in peace” of folks worldwide who truly deserved it.
OH puuuuleaaaaase.
You forgot Mikhail Kalashnikov!
That ship has sailed.
I totally agree. The list of disreputable and incompetent Nobels is too long.
Besides, no one should assume that Snowden is really a whistleblower, or a defender of freedom. Note that there are no consequences for his revelations. There was more interest in prosecuting the film maker blamed for Benghazi.
Note also that for a guy in hiding, everyone seems to know where he is. And for a guy who is supposedly defending freedom, he seems to have an unusual stash of information to sell to Russia.
The story reeks of a made for TV cover….. for something else.
I would think at this point, being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize…
…would be an insult
If one goes to real-science.com, you get a site that looks identical to this one but has different articles. Is this really a Steven Goddard site, or is it someone spoofing this site?
It is not a Steven Goodard Site! It is also in limbo as the last post was 6-2012.
That happens to me all the time too… why is there a strange ghost real-science.com website?
hahaha The noble prize credibility was finito when they awarded it to Gore. These days it really does not mean much. That AGW prize demeaned its value quite a bit unfortunately. For example the next physiologist(s) to be given an award by the Nobel Committee will mean less than it did before. Probably the Nobel Committe does not realize this, but it is eroding their credibility. Similarly, Journals such as Nature have lost credibility because of this AGW poison that will affect anything they publish even if its not related to ” climate Change”.

Lyndon Larouche???
The best comment I’ve heard about this is, this is the first time a Nobel Peace Prize winner has had a manhunt for a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Goes for a second prize?
Goes for the prize a second time?
Steve, different topic but have you seen the latest cover of the progressives ‘Rolling Stone’ mag? – iconising terrorist Jahar Tsarnaev.
Wouldn’t be painted so ‘cool’ if he bombed the home of the Rolling Stone editor.

Global Warming strikes South Florida:
“It was a “cold” and wet day across South Florida on Wednesday. Three Daily RECORD Low Maximums (coldest high temperature for the day) were set today.
The high today at Miami International Airport only reached 78 degrees. This smashes the previous record coldest high temperature of 84 degrees for the date, set way back in 1926.
The high today at Fort Lauderdale International Airport only reached 80 degrees. This crushes the previous record coldest high temperature of 86 degrees for the date, set back in 1990.
The high today at West Palm Beach International Airport reached 84 degrees. This breaks the previous record coldest high temperature of 85 degrees for the date, set back in 1975.”

There were also many record cold temperatures in Texas this week, rainfall records as well. So much for Dr. Hayhoe’s permanent Texas dustbowl.
Nobel peace prize winner is appointed by the Norwegians.
Needed to say that.
Great, I second that nomination!

Reid blames climate change: ‘West is burning’
“The West is burning,” the Nevada Democrat told reporters in a meeting. “I could be wrong, but I don’t think we’ve ever had a fire in the Spring Mountains, Charleston range like we just had.
“Why are we having them? Because we have climate change. Things are different. The forests are drier, the winters are shorter, and we have these terrible fires all over the West.”
