Weather Alert  

ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD Increasing northwest winds and drying low levels will create conditions more conducive for fire spread today into early this evening. Relative humidity is expected to decrease to near 25 to 30 percent this afternoon into early this evening, while wind gusts increase to 35 to 45 mph. An isolated gust to 50 mph will be possible. These conditions would likely aid fire spread if ignition occurs. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. The annual statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued. For more information about wildfire danger and wildfire prevention, please visit the New York Department of Environmental Conservation website at http://dec.ny.gov/environmental- protection/wildfires. This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials.

It is ten years after Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth, won an Academy Award for Best Documentary. The original documentary is regularly credited with bringing climate change to the forefront of popular culture.  Now, a decade later, Al Gore has returned to continue his fight to educate a new generation about the dangers of climate change.  In his new film, directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, follow Al Gore as he travels the globe speaking to audiences, local politicians, business titans and world leaders. An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power shows the startling new evidence illustrating the horrifying effects of climate change, and offers inspiring stories of people working together to find solutions to this crisis.
 
Bonni Cohen is an celebrated documentary producer and director.  She is most well-known for her films Rape of Europa, the story of how Nazi Germany plundered Europe’s great works of art, and Audrie & Daisy, which looks at the effects  that online bullying has on the lives of teenagers.
