Gov. Andrew Cuomo wasn't taking any chances that there might be empty seats at a speech he delivered last week on climate change — so state workers were summoned on the taxpayer dime to fill the audience, The Post has learned. The workers said they left their jobs in the middle of the day Thursday and were paid their full salaries to hear Cuomo at Columbia University announce the state was joining a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_cuomo_gore.jpg
