The UN Session on Climate ChangeRead about the award on Yahoo! News.
This is a great award. If we don't do something now about global warming, the repercussions will be bad for peace in the world. People will fight for survival, and the changes in rainfall patters, agricultural potentials, and other factors will almost surely engender conditions in which people resort to violence. This is an occasion in which the Peace Prize can help to avoid future conflict by drawing attention to the need to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, and help empower those who are leading in that campaign,
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is an impressive and original creation, doing great work. Indeed, I took the privilege of nominating its former chair for the AAAS International Scientific Cooperation Prize this year.
