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:

No, he's just another affirmative action hire who wouldn't know a weather map from a gonorrhea smear.
I’m appalled he went on TV to tell a story about him pooping his pants in the White House. :/
I love how when there is snow in Nevada or Texas that doesn’t count against Global Warming.
But Super storm Sandy or any other isolated weather event they can point to does count.
Or another thing that doesn’t count is the the fact that the weather records we are always breaking are always from the the turn of the last century.
Shut up Roker. You fat@#$
I was hoping someone would post that. It is Al’s own version of ‘warming’. The song stays in your head, though!
Dumb A**hole.
Seems to me that they’ve called a few of our winter storms “Superstorms” as well.
They must have been super because they’ve named every cloud to pass overhead.
When either spells of unseasonable extra cold weather or extra hot weather are both cited as proof of global warming (a term that has largely been supplanted by a more indisputable term: climate change, much like Progressive has supplanted Liberal), adherents to the “religion” are standing on shifting sands.
Al Roker is not a weatherman. He is a political hack and broadcast/journalist (nowadays a broadcast/journalist is a political hack). His weather reports are put together for him and he reads the words off a teleprompter. To call him a weatherman cheapens the degrees of every meteorologist. When The Weather Channel hired him to work with Stephanie Abrams I knew the global warming hoax was going to be pushed.
He attended the State University of New York at Oswego where he double-majored in graphic design and broadcasting/journalism.
But he lost weight just like momma Obama told him to...and now he will live to be 100....yeh right...
>>Yet another “meteorologist” who doesn’t know the difference between climate and weather.<<
No, you don’t understand that anything that supports the global warming cult is true. Anything that doesn’t support it is false. Sort of like Scientology but with cult followers who aren’t nearly as nice as David Miscarriage’s Sea Org.
Only 37 percent?
We have a long slow job ahead, trying to chip away at the other 63 percent.
Al this talk of anthroprogenic global warming is another example of somebody peeing on one’s leg, and the explanation given is that it is raining.
That is not rain.
come on everybody do the dooky dance!
Actually it snows, heavily, in Nevada every year. Five feet of snow during one storm in downtown Reno just a few years ago.
the mutt reads whats in front of him, he is NOT a meteorologist let alone a scientist... feh
Didn’t know that..
I thought one year it snowed somewhere around Sept or Oct (a few years ago)?
Poor Al, he can’t help it, he’s a DUMB ASS!!
