2007: 4th Assessment Report by the IPCC says evidence for global warming is "unequivocal" and forecasts warming of 1.8-4.0 degrees C (3.2-7.2 degrees F) by 2100 and an unquantifiable rise in sea levels. Nobel Peace Prize is awarded jointly to IPCC and former US vice president Al Gore, whose documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" raised climate change awareness. UNFCCC parties agree a "Bali Road Map" for negotiating a post-2012 climate treaty. (AR4) At the end of 2007, the IPCC released the final document in its fourth assessment (AR4): the Synthesis report.
It confirmed and built on the previous reports, saying that the warming of the Earth’s climate systems was now
‘unequivocal’.

In 2007, the primary climate legislation associated with Senator
Joseph Lieberman was the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2007 (S. 2191). While Representative Henry Waxman was a key figure in climate policy, his most famous collaboration, the Waxman-Markey Bill (H.R. 2454), did not occur until 2009.

- Emission Targets: It sought to reduce emissions from the electric power, transportation, and manufacturing sectors to 15% below 2005 levels by 2020 and 70% below 2005 levels by 2050.
- Economic Assistance: The proposal included roughly $350 billion to assist low- and middle-income families with energy costs and $500 billion for zero- and low-carbon technology investments through 2030.
- Outcome: Though approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in December 2007, the bill was eventually killed in June 2008 following a Republican filibuster fueled by concerns over economic impact.

Relationship to Waxman
In 2007, Rep. Henry Waxman was chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. While he supported the goals of the Lieberman-Warner bill, his own landmark legislation, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (Waxman-Markey), was introduced in 2009. That bill became the first—and only—major climate change bill to pass a house of Congress (the House of Representatives) before ultimately failing in the Senate.
