 One of my favorite state Senators is hosting a forum on climate change tonight in NYC and I'll be there to cover the event. She'll be joined by new DEC chief Pete Grannis, Comptroller DiNapoli and singer/songwriter Kathy Mattea who will be presenting Al Gore's "An Incovenient Truth" slideshow. From the press release:
State Senator Liz Krueger, Environmental Advocates of New York, and St. Bartholomew's Church tomorrow, October 23rd, will host a large-scale NYC event aimed at fighting the climate crisis. The event will feature Grammy winning recording artist and 2-time Country Music Association Female (CMA) Vocalist of the Year Kathy Mattea, Commissioner Pete Grannis of the State Department of Environment Conservation (DEC), and NYS Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
Mattea will present former Vice President Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth slideshow. Her presentation will be followed by a discussion about what New York is doing to fight global warming, including the new Climate Control Office within the DEC, led by Commissioner Grannis and Comptroller DiNapoli.
Due to New York City's regional population and business density, as well as our geographic vulnerability to the impacts of global warming, New York plays a key role in the future of the debate. The event is free and open to the public.
Tonight at St. Bartholomew's Church, 51st and Park, 6pm.
If you are in NYC, I hope to see you there! |
