I don't know if King Harald is part of the Nobel selection process, but his views and mine coincide with President Obama's views.
The Norway Post: "King Harald's
New Year speech to the nation
Excess consumption, the climate crisis, the
hunt for profit, intolerance and 'Berlin Walls' that create hate and mistrust
were the main themes of King Harald's traditional speech to the nation on New
Year's Eve.
King Harald fears that excess consumption at the worst may
create a dramatic imbalance in the global climate. He urges us all to take this
challenge seriously, in order that our earth may be passed on to new
generations."
