On Monday and Tuesday, NBC weatherman Al Roker reported live from Utqiagvik, Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States, labeling it “ground zero for climate change.” Throughout the segment, Roker implored the nation to “make a commitment” to abandon fossil fuels and assured viewers: “This is not a theory, this is reality here.”
“We are back with our special series Al in the Arctic. Al’s there exploring an issue that a lot of folks all over the world are concerned about, and rightfully so, climate change,” co-host Craig Melvin announced during the Today show’s 8:00 a.m. ET hour on Monday. “Yeah, he traveled to the epicenter of the issue, way, way up in Alaska,” fellow co-host Hoda Kotb added.
Roker warned his colleagues:
And here in Utqiagvik, things are heating up, and we don’t mean in a good way. When I arrived here on Saturday morning, we hit a high of 33 degrees, that’s a record for the day, which is 36 degrees above average....it’s actually raising major red flags for scientists about what’s possible when it comes to climate change.
As his taped report began, Roker narrated: “It’s the top of the world, and for scientists, Utqiagvik, Alaska, formerly known as Barrow, is ground zero for climate change.” Talking to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climate scientist Bryan Thomas, the meteorologist asked: “As a planet, we make a commitment to change something, that you can reverse damage that has been done?” Thomas replied: “We all hope so.”

The same people pushing climate change are the same people who pushed collusion.
NBC local news was reporting this morning that BOTH “earlier than normal” spring weather and “later than normal spring weather” cause pollen allergies to be worse for those who are allergic, and that the timing of the weather is due to “climate change”.

Dumber than a bag of AOCs.
Put him up on the very north pole.
Or Al Roker's IQ.
Do you mean Ciudad Dos?
Illegal Invaders kill more Americans than Climate Change does.
Don't forget Peking and Bombay. :)
Too hot is caused by climate.
Too cold is caused by weather.
That's a kickass observation!
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.
>>>“This is not a theory, this is reality here.”<<<
Actually, it’s a Religion.

Actually, it’s a cult.
I miss Willard Scott.
I'd like to see the faces of some Aleuts when Roker implores them to make a commitment to abandon fossil fuels. He might get run out of town.
Mr Roker traveled in a wind powered bullet train.
So the guy who cannot tell you what the weather will be tomorrow is trying to predict it 50 years from now? Excuse my skepticism.
Well... It’s already classified as a “ground zero” so let’s use it as one... Ideally while that simpering crackpot is broadcasting live (temporarily)...
