CLEARWATER, Florida (Reuters) - The White House praised former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and the U.N. climate panel on Friday for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for their work to raise awareness of the threat of global warming.

said White House spokesman Tony Fratto, who is travelling with Bush in Florida. "Of course he's happy for Vice President Gore and happy for the international panel on climate change scientists who also shared the peace prize."

"Obviously, it's an important recognition and we're sure the vice president is thrilled," added Fratto, who said he did not know of plans for Bush to make a congratulatory call to Gore.
