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:

My city has two weather men who don’t agree with Global warming. They are on record as opposing it.

Due to all of Al’s hot air, a case for global warming could be made based on his exhaling only...

I, for one, agree with AL. I am appalled that at least 99% Americans have not seen through this manipulative manufactured crisis.

So Al is a clueless dumbass who has no idea what people think beyond Rockefeller Center. Now here’s what’s going on in your neck of the woods...

It doesn’t have to be true if it’s not a hoax. I believe most the people actually believe in global warming. Even the one’s faking the data are probably true believers. They are just wrong.

I guess as a weatherman Al is used to being wrong.

I’m appalled as well. Only 37% believe the truth?

Our weather man said global warming is just “nuts”.

“Okay, two words: Superstorm Sandy!”
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.

I used to have a running bet with Mrs. Jewbacca over whether Al Roker would go talk to the sole black person in the crowd at the “outside scenes” on the today show.
She stopped taking it, because 100% of the time, he will choose the black person out of 99 white people.
I can’t stand racists of any color.

>>Okay, two words: Superstorm Sandy!<<
Yet another “meteorologist” who doesn’t know the difference between climate and weather.
