NBC's Al Roker was appalled by a poll of conspiracy theories that showed 37 percent of those surveyed believed global warming was a hoax. During a discussion, on Wednesday's Today show, of a Public Policy Polling survey that included respondents' views on everything from the John F. Kennedy assassination to the existence of Bigfoot, co-host Willie Geist reported: "Global warming is a hoax. Thirty-seven percent believe that."

To which Roker responded with an audible, "Wow!" and then later scolded global warming skeptics: "Okay, two words: Superstorm Sandy!" (video after the jump)

The following is the relevant exchange as it was aired on the April 3 Today show:

I am appalled that the percentage is so low. We still have work to do on the low-information voter.

I once sat in a booth in a BBQ joint in Charlston SC that had a little brass plaque that said “Al Roker at here”. I was so honored I could barely contain my excitement. /sarc

I can’t count how many snowstorms and blizzards I driven through in northern Nevada over the years. Snows there just like the High Plains of the Mid-West.

Seriously! I was hoping that at least half of Americans saw through this fraudulent movement. but then again, the American media did hide the climate-gate story where the most of the so-called prominent scientists admitted to lying and falsifying data.

I think Al Gore is trying to get Jack Frost’s job. Al really hates it here on Earth, because it is so hot, not like his home planet, Hoth.

It sure must have been weird living in the 1950’s when there were no hurricanes, tornados, and the weather never got higher than 80 degrees.

LOL! Yes, it's amazing how the world was perfectly stable and without problems. I'm guessing if we were to ask when all the bad things started, we would find the response to be January 20, 1981.

Hey Al, I’m apalled that only 37% are intelligent enough to see the very obvious hoax.

100 % of sane thinking people realize that Roker isn’t a real weatherman. Now why wasn’t that in the poll?
