Is jury's decision to give Al Gore the Noble peace prize justified?
Yes # The Nobel committee said it wanted to help the world focus on the threat it faced from climate change to create an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming.

# Al Gore has already won an Oscar and an Emmy for his film An Inconvenient Truth which issues a stark warning of the dangers of global warming.
No # The committee often uses the coveted prize to cast the global spotlight on a relatively little-known person or cause. Al Gore already has a high profile and some had doubted that the committee would bestow the prize on him.
# A British judge said in a ruling published Wednesday that some assertions in his documentary were not supported by scientific evidence that also needed to accompany the screenings.
