WASHINGTON -- Former Vice President Al Gore testified today on his favorite topic --yes, you guessed it-- global warming before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and had a few things to say about the climate in South Florida.
Reciting a series of unusual events tied to climate change, Gore made his point:
"Manatees live in South Florida," he said. "One of 'em showed up off Memphis this summer. Yep. First time ever. You ever seen a manatee in Memphis? No. It got too hot in southern Florida. I'm not making this up."
