ýFormer Vice President Al Gore brought his message on the \"climate crisis\" Thursday to a crowd of more than 500 at Wayne State University. Gore drew parallels between the regional fight to restore the health of the Great Lakes to the global efforts to deal with climate change. Gore\'s appearance at the university coincides with the events of Great Lakes Week - a four-day gathering in Detroit of environmental groups from around the region. The week\'s events include meetings of the International Joint Commission and the Great Lakes Commission.
