That conflict is really only a major issue within the USA... and okay Alberta, and despite his pompous self-promoting he did manage to bring the importance of the Climate Change issue to the forefront so I can't fault him for that - the peace arguement comes from the fact that curbing or fighting Climate Change is promoting peace by eliminating or mitigating the environmentally based causes of conflict.
Besides the Nobel has more to do with global issues than American domestic political crap, so really who cares if a bunch of head-in-the-sand conservatives/libertarians get their panties in a bunch.
