Climate change is impacting life in Pennsylvania, and its effects will become increasingly obvious as the century progresses, former vice president Al Gore told a room of 1,300 people at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Gore tucked state-specific stats into a two-hour presentation peppered with images of melting roads, collapsing glaciers, flooded cities and other dramatic weather events scientists have linked to climate change.
The presentation was part of a Climate Reality Leadership Corps meeting, the 36th in a series in which Gore trains attendees to advocate for changes that could help slow global warming.
“The pattern is really painfully clear now,” Gore said.
Gore, who has been vocal about his disappointment in President Trump's lack of urgency on climate issues, avoided politics in his speech, encouraging people to take action on their own.
William Northy, 68, of Moon Township said he stopped in for the presentation since he had to be in Pittsburgh anyway for a doctor's appointment.
“I think it's overly hyped,” said Northy, a retired airline pilot. He said he was skeptical of the barrage of statistics Gore presented. While he believes the climate is changing, he doesn't believe humans' contributions are very significant.
“Every time you belch or fart, it affects the climate in a minuscule way,” he said, adding that he feels there are few “tangible” things people can do to change the trends.

In other words, he had some time to kill and thought he might catch a free comedy act.
Kramer is more qualified to lead a “reality” tour than this guy.
Alvin found himself a terrific racket.

Yep, Gore. It sure is. You and your cronies (but mostly you) stand to make trillions with this fraud.
No wonder I felt a sudden chill this morning driving into work. At first I thought it might have been a stroke or heart attack or athlete’s foot flaring up, but it was simply a revolting cloud in the air in Western PA that cripples your senses and causes anyone with a functioning brain to malfunction.
Only one thing triggers such a reaction ... ManBearPig!
He’s super serial.
It was in the 70’s here every day until Monday.
I’m not complaining.
Global warming hysteria cost Pennsylvania jobs. One of the reasons they voted for Donald Trump.
I’m from the Burgh and go back frequently. I can assure you that global warming/climate is the least of their concerns. It’s not even on the radar, except for the democratic left politicos that control the city.
Some of the best coal in the world...
Did algore site any of his predictions that have come true?
LOL.

That’s it Al. You tell those now gainfully employed coal miners in Western PA to put down their hard hats and get back in the welfare line!
