                               RESOLUTION


 
  Honoring Vice President Albert Gore, Jr., and the Intergovernmental 
 Panel on Climate Change for receiving the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, in 
 recognition of their efforts to promote understanding of the threats 
                        posed by global warming.

Whereas the Norwegian Nobel Committee selected Vice President Albert Arnold (Al) 
        Gore, Jr., and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as 
        Nobel Peace Prize Laureates for 2007, acknowledging them ``for their 
        efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made 
        climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are 
        needed to counteract such change'';
Whereas the Nobel Committee found that Vice President Gore ``became aware at an 
        early stage of the climatic challenges the world is facing'', and that 
        his ``strong commitment ... has strengthened the struggle against 
        climate change'';
Whereas the IPCC, according to the Nobel Committee, is composed of thousands of 
        scientists and officials from more than 100 countries, has sponsored 
        research and scientific collaboration over the last 2 decades and ``has 
        created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between 
        human activities and global warming''; and
Whereas the Nobel Committee stated that Vice President Gore ``is probably the 
        single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide 
        understanding of the measures that need to be adopted'' to combat global 
        warming: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate honors Vice President Albert Arnold Gore, 
Jr., and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for receiving 
the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of their longstanding 
efforts to promote understanding of the threats posed by global 
warming.
