Gore to Exploit Florida Fires in Photo-op

From reliable sources


Al Gore has scheduled a photo-op for Monday or Tuesday in Florida with the backdrop of a burning state to bolster climate change action. He's asked NASA via the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) for information gathered from space on lightning rates and fires. Reportedly, NASA staff has been working day and night the past 3 days to get "fantastic photos" of the destruction.
