Al Gore brings climate change message to Kansas City
February 22 By BRIAN BURNES The Kansas City Star
Al Gore has been known for his climate change warnings since the 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth.”
But the former vice president, speaking Saturday in Kansas City, cited many more recent examples how heavy use of fossil fuels is contributing to extreme weather events and trends, in his view.
Gore filled a Westin Crown Center ballroom with a 90-minute presentation, using photos and videos to illustrate a litany of floods, wildfires, torrential rains, droughts, dust storms, rising sea levels and increasing world temperatures.
To those attending the Folk Alliance International conference, he noted examples of flooding in locations both remote and closer to home, such as in Manitou Springs, Colo., where high water barreled down mountain highways last year, carrying cars along with it.
“They had never seen anything like this in Manitou Springs,” Gore said.
He cited the possibility of how flooding in Pakistan could destabilize that country, a nuclear power, and the possible effect that continuing drought in California might have on the world’s food supply.
“Think about that,” he said. “The Dust Bowl is coming back, quickly, unless we act.”
When you are relegated to giving your looney presentation to a group of folk music enthusiasts at a ballroom at the local Westin, you know your day has come and gone. What's next for Al? Hitting a pot luck dinner for the Macrame Club of America?

Frank, you forgot to say, "Not that there's anything wrong with the Macrome Club"

Here's an inconvenient truth about Al, he leveraged a net work of $1.7 million in 1999 to $200 million. I guess being a climate profiteer pays quite well.
