"Climate change made me do it."

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 know something about Al Roker personally from this statement of his in the article:
I’m personally an avowed carnivore, but even I’m looking at how to reduce that carbon footprint of what I eat. I try to cut back on single use plastics: At work, I have a water bottle, a metal straw, and keep metal utensils around so I’m not using plastic. Or, when that’s not possible, I’m using bamboo wood products, which are more environmentally friendly. Like everyone, I’m trying to find those little things that I can do as an individual, to help the sustainability of the planet as a whole.
George Carlin rips the environmentalists:

Carlin’s comments on plastic are perfect.
Al’s SUNY Oswego B.A.in Communications is staring me right in the face.
I took Earth Science in High School which makes me more qualified to comment on climate change then Al.
Notice how followers of the climate change cult have gone fascist?
“Shut the f*** up! The discussion’s over! The bickering stops, and it stops right now!!!”
Al Roker has gone postal.
We’re supposed to be seeing boiling seas, massive flooding, extinct penguins and polar bears, temperatures AVERAGING 125F... according to your godling Algore.
That “Average American” knows what’s going on, Al; it’s a three-shell game with the data and fast-and-loose with the truth. We’re just keeping our wallets shut to ya.

Got news for you, TV Guide Guy on ‘Seinfeld’.
The Great Tribulation and Armageddon are coming.
Put that in your Global Warming.
What is the temperature of the earth supposed to be at any point in time and at any point on earth.
And there is NOTHING in time gone by that will tell us what it should be.
It's not science at all.
You mean Al “blue glasses” Roker. He’s an entertainer and we must admit a successful one.
Would send me a picture of a carbon footprint please. I have never seen one. Thanks.
Please also send me a copy of your plan to change the climate that God created.
Was he wearing a tin foil hat or just drugged out of his mind?
So much wing-nut outreach...
So little time...
These people are mentally ill.
The ranks right up there with all the other dire predictions that never come true.
In the 70s they were promoting the idea the people on planet earth were gong to starve to death en mass.
This has been the coldest year I can remember in Los Angeles.
At night now, I actually have to put a blanket on.
Usually this time of the year, it’s hot for all 24 hours. That can last deep into October too. Not this year.
Is the water level going down yet?
you can fool some of the people all the time, but not all of the people some of the time... or something like that... Al, no one is saying climate change does not happen...
you are an idiot.
we are saying, man has little to do with it.
Is he a mostly wrong with his predictions weatherman or a international policy expert and scientist?
Thank God I am above average and am immune to the unmitigated BS that liberals spew.
Nah, I believe him, since network news never lies and doesn't have a Communist agenda...
Al Roker needs to watch a little less CNN and a little more Tony Heller.
Just sayin’.
Where’s the proof other than he said, she said? Don’t give me the U.N. as proof. Let’s have some real proof.
Climate changes all the time. Climate has been changing since long before mankind existed.
Mankind doesn’t cause the climate to change, nor can mankind do anything about the climate other than something stupid that would more than likely hurt people Wile E. Coyote style especially if the left is in charge.
