But Al Gore has managed to open the eyes of a lot of hillbilly Americans, and as America is the biggest emitter of CO2 on the planet, that is no small feat. They went for who made the biggest bang on the public stage, not who did the most work. Or at least thats what I gather form what I have read and heard.

Thompson, of Ohio State University, School of Earth Sciences & Byrd Polar Research Center didn't receive 1/4 Nobel Prize with Mr. Gore. According to the Nobel Website 1/2 the Nobel Peace Prize went to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and it was split with Mr. Al Gore. I think it would be only right that Mr. Gore should split 1/2 his prize with Professor Thompson. If one didn’t fall asleep in Mr. Gore’s movie, one would know Mr. Gore received a majority of the Scientific Date and Information for his movie from Professor Lonnie G. Thompson, a man who has spent more time above 18,000 feet than any other person on Earth, according to Rolling Stone Magazine. Can someone tell me why the Nobel Foundation didn’t recognize Glaciologist Professor Lonnie G. Thompson and why he didn't receive 1/4 award, if Mr. Gore presented his Scientific Date / Information in his film? I find it strange that Professor Lonnie G.
