Vote for Hillary or else global warming will destroy Florida. Update to this previous story.

Can former vice president Al Gore, who hasn’t been on the ballot in a decade and a half, persuade young voters to back Hillary Clinton by appearing in hurricane-battered South Florida?
He and the Democratic presidential nominee will start testing this proposition on Tuesday, when the two appear together in Miami.
The location has plenty of symbolic importance — the area has not only just been battered by Hurricane Matthew, it is also a part of the country most vulnerable to sea-level rise and the state where Green Party candidate Ralph Nader helped derail Gore’s 2000 presidential candidacy.
The appearance is timed to coincide with the state’s voter registration deadline, and the Clinton campaign announced Sunday that the two politicians would urge Florida voters “to check their registration status and to get registered by October 11 to make their voices heard this election.”
Gore’s pitch: People concerned about climate change, especially young voters, should ignore the siren song of third-party candidates and opt for Clinton. Millennials are a key target demographic for Clinton, because they consider tackling global warming a higher priority than older voters but have yet to fully embrace her.
“At the event, Gore will discuss the urgent threat posed by climate change and lay out the high stakes of November’s election,” the Clinton campaign said in a statement.
