Actually I believe the award is for the concept that as the planet warms, resources will become more scarce. Some areas will experience long severe droughts and others will experience unusual cooling streaks, wandering game will die off, nations will become more protective of their natural resources, etc.
Hence, spreading the word about the warming trend (to get people to help reverse the trend) will help prevent easily foreseeable problems in the future which could easily lead to war.
Get all mad all you want, just learn yourself on why they awarded it so you don't mischaracterize why it happened.
