Can we agree on the meaning of a word?

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Gore and UN scientists is certainly a novel definition of the word 'peace'. It makes one question whether the translation from Swedish to English has been faulty for several years.

Absolutely! I commented such myself at the time. I think the problem for the Nobel committee is there's just not enough striving towards peace in the world. They can't find a peacemaker worthy of the prize. Let's face it, who is?
