President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize Friday, in part due to his leadership in the fight against climate change. It’s the third Nobel Prize awarded in the past couple of years on this issue, following wins by Al Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So what message is Nobel trying to send? How much of Obama’s comments on climate change Friday are true? What is the economic reality of the climate change agenda? And is this prize simply intended to boost the climate change summit in Copenhagen? We get key insights from Dr. Tim Ball, former professor of climatology at the University of Winnepeg.
