What does Gore's efforts have to do with "peace"?

"What has "environmental preservation" have to do with "global peace," a main advocacy of the Nobel Peace Prize? Other critics like Copenhagen professor Bjorn Lomborg opined that the billions spent for environmental issues could be better used to prevent current pressing problems of the universe. He said 4 million people die of malnutrition and 3 million die of HIV/AIDS related disease every year - compared to only 2.5 million who die from pollution annually. Maybe.

Correctly, however, the Nobel Peace Panel sees the long-term risk of the environmental crisis. For instance, the mass flooding from the melting of the polar caps will subdue vast tracts of land and nations. The displaced populace will then have to compete violently for reduced natural resources (food, water, shelter, medicine) in other unaffected areas. Massive migrations in the hundreds of millions will create socio-economic concerns in the areas of migration - just on the basis of limited geographic space to accommodate all the migrants. This monumental population surges and destruction of food and infrastructure will eventually threaten the peace and "security of nations." Thus the Nobel Peace Prize."
