Al Gore Training Project Taps Katie Scheidt as Global Warming Messenger

Jersey City resident Katie Scheidt has recently completed a rigorous training program led by former Vice President Al Gore to spread the message about the threat of and solutions to global warming.

“The Climate Project Trainees are outstanding examples of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis,” said Gore. “We are so pleased that they have made a serious commitment to this challenge by coming to Nashville to become part of this unprecedented grassroots effort.”

Katie will be spending the next year making presentations in and around New York City and all over New Jersey to raise awareness about global warming, discussing how individuals and businesses, schools, and other organizations can be a major part of the solution to the growing crisis of global warming.

Katie Scheidt was part of a select group of individuals chosen to receive this important training Dec. 1-3. Each trainee took part in an intensive tutorial about issues surrounding global warming, led by Gore and a team of renowned scientists and environmental educators. In addition, each received technical training to become experienced presenters of a version of Gore’s computer-based slide show, which became the basis of his best-selling book and documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Katie is a staff member and Bachelor degree student at The New School in Greenwich Village, New York City.
