Then-candidate Donald Trump's April 2016 rally in Rochester provides the opening sequence for the trailer of An Inconvenient Sequel, set for nationwide release next week.

Former Vice President Al Gore's follow-up to the global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth uses Trump's comments to set the stage.

"It's supposed to be 70 degrees today," Trump tells the crowd estimated at 7,500 that gathered April 10, 2016, in an airport hangar, conflating weather with climate. "It's freezing here. Speaking of global warming, where is — we need some global warming. It's freezing."

When it comes to that day's weather, it was overcast, with temperatures hovering around 37 degrees when Trump was speaking, according to the National Weather Service in Buffalo. The high for the day was 39. The normal expected high temperature for that time of year is 54.

The Trump administration since has sought to loosen or undo environmental regulations and, last month, the president announced plans to pull the U.S. from the Paris climate accord.

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power opens Aug. 4 at The Little Theatre.
