Al Gore, from a speech at the National Sierra Club Convention on September 9, 2005. On October 12, 2007, Gore was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

On October 13, 2007, William Neikirk wrote in the Chicago Tribune that "the former vice president said he would donate his half of the $1.5 million prize to the Alliance for Climate Protection, an advocacy group he helped found."

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said the prize was awarded to Gore and the IPCC 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."

The IPCC, which shares the prize with Gore, is a United Nations-sponsored group of about 2,500 scientists from around the world. The IPCC gathers the peer-reviewed work of thousands of scientists into a coherent picture of climate change. In 2007 the group issued its fourth assessment of the state of knowledge on climate change. It stated that the evidence supporting climate change is "unequivocal" and that the change is "very likely" caused by human activity.
