Clinton and Gore Bring Climate Change Message to Storm-Hit Florida

"Florida's east coast ranks as the region most vulnerable to sea-level rise in the U.S.

Former Vice President Al Gore praised Hillary Clinton’s credentials on climate change at a Florida rally Tuesday that brought the presidential campaign to the front lines of the fight against global warming in the U.S. and laid out a clear contrast with Donald Trump’s denial of the science.

The speeches from both Clinton and Gore in Miami delved into the science and policy of climate change in rare depth and nuance for a presidential campaign rally. The speakers took time to explain the science behind phenomena like sea-level rise, how climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases like Zika and how storm surge easily inundates cities with water during large storms."
