He should be made to pay it all back, with interest – then go to jail.
It is rhyming slang – Sophie Tucker.
The writer Jostein Gaarder is behind the prize. He did make a lot of money on his book Sophie’s World.
He has also for a long time been deeply involved with the WWF.
So I agree: Bill gets the prize for promoting immensely powerful interests! (Radical Environmentalists)
The truth is powerful
What a waste of $100,000. I would think McKibben should be in line for the Darwin Award. With all the warming he says is happening, he will be dead soon.

‘fighting immensely powerful interests’ . Yea : Logic .
Bill McKibben wins $100,000 Sophie Prize for ‘PROMOTING immensely powerful interests’. There fixed it for ya.
Wow, a prize with the same prestige as recent Nobel Peace Prizes!
Is sophie a short version of sophistry?
Birds of a feather…
Picking Bill McKibben was a real ‘Sophie’s Choice’ and similarly appears to have consequences that will doom Sophie.
