Al Roker: Climate change is not ignorable. Stop debating what is staring us all in our faces.
NBC News ^ | 09/19/2019 | Al Roker

Posted on 09/19/2019 12:41:59 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Climate change affects everybody. It doesn't care if you're black or white, rich or poor, male or female. Climate change affects everybody, and the notion that we can ignore it is just foolhardy. We are talking about the fate of our planet.

We're seeing global temperatures rise at an alarming rate. We're seeing the world's oceans warming at an alarming rate. We're seeing a growing number of climate refugees — even though that term isn't yet broadly recognized in international law — whether they are on the South Pacific island of Kiribati, on the North slopes of Alaska or in the Sahara. We have farmers dealing with changing soil and growing conditions. We have folks who are running out of clean running water because of drought.

There's not one part of the globe that's not being affected by this. Both on a national level and on a global level, there's nothing more pressing.

The average person understands this; the average person knows that there's something going on. And, the average American is looking for more leadership from elected officials on the federal level. In frustration, they're turning to their state and local officials, and saying, We want action. And so states and local governments are picking up the slack and enacting local and statewide ordinances to combat climate change.

I am optimistic — carefully optimistic — that we can make changes. Part of that is because I have found people to be receptive, when they have an open mind and don't come to these issues from an ideological viewpoint, that it can't be happening.

We’re actually in a CO2 drought. We need more. We’re currently at about 400 PPM. 1000 would be a lot better.

There was an ice age and now the earth is warmer. No argument.

Ask any of theses kooks if there is going to be another ice age? The last one ended 12,000 year ago. So man has stopped the ice age cycle? A cycle that has been going on for 2 Billion years? Really?

Al Roker went to the State University of New York at Oswego where he received a B.A. in communications in 1976.

He knows nothing about weather or the climate.

He just read what was in front of him.

It couldn't be that Al Roker has just been made head of the network "Let's sell Climate Change" committee,

All the 3 corrupt networks have recently created a "Climate News Group" to more formally lie to America. The Climate News Group on CBS now has regular reports, I'm waiting for them to start running the 11 year clock countdown in the corner of the screen.

Everyone, just go here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TonyHeller1/videos

He is producing these excellent Climate Change videos almost daily. He has made it his life’s purpose to debunk the alarmists and is doing an excellent job.

Al Roker: Climate change is not ignorable. Stop debating what is staring us all in our faces.

Stop debating with these climate liars at all. Call them "liars" at every opportunity, and inform them that we will *NOT* buy into their power grab scheme.

I thought at first he was going to talk about Biden's dementia.

I don’t care what his credentials are. Even the folks with all the degrees are telling us the world will end in 10 years—they’ve been saying it for 40 years. They’re always wrong.

Al and the rest of them are perpetuating a con either through ignorance or informed complicity.

“Climate change” is a scam.

Yes--we want an end to the climate cult propaganda and censorship!

What are Roker and the rest of the bunch going to say when it soon becomes obvious that we are entering another mini ice age?

Leftists never want to debate, because they know they’d lose.

They just want to lecture us.

> stop debating <

Do not question the theory. Do not question the methodology or the data. That is exactly how science dies. Back to the Dark Ages we go.

Dumbass al can get back to me at his convenience on these:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
