   I vote for Al Gore… because, afterall, he predicted our current energy crisis/global warming issue a long time ago and we’re just now suffering the consequences of not heeding his foresight.

   In all honesty I feel there are too many individuals who’s ideas and writings, as you say, are of great significance to us, people who help us and so forth.

   One prize for one individual, in my opinion is not enough to reward some of todays greatest minds and truly fabulous bodies.

   Haha, why would Al Gore vote for himself. A vote for self is null and void in my opinion.

    I also agree about Al Gore. He already won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on An Inconvenient Truth, so we should also recognize him as a philosopher of sorts for his insight on global warming.

    Both Scientists and Thinkers are important for our socio-cultural advancement. I am a pro-science individual observing closely the scientific advancements world over. Only things is Non-science Thinkers should not get involved in blocking new inventions and technological developments.

    I don’t think Al Gore fit to the award, it is on the study of Humanity. Gore made its Nobel on global warming though related only on its effect to humanity, it doesn’t fit to the main objective of study.
