Looks like Nobel Peace Prize is to be announced in less than 4 hours...

11:00 AM CEST is 2:00 AM PDT, 5:00 EDT


Here is also a list of previous winners.

Given the list, it does seems likely that global warming would be considered a subject connected substantially enough to peace to warrant the Prize.

14. 9.33 AM GMT+1 with daylight saving time
since the announcement is at GMT 9 AM, and they don't have daylight saving time, the announcement is in an hour and a half.

I use http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

16. 1 hr 05 minutes
... ONE hour to go. Excited, and oblivious.

Memories of 2004 election night.

Hope for the best ... plan for the worst.

Regardless of the Nobel outcome, we MUST convince Al to run for President, whichever way we can.

Yes, I said WE !!
