Roker Proudly Tells WashPost He Gets No ‘Pushback’ on Climate Hysteria

In a flirty interview The Washington Post Magazine last week, NBC weatherman Al Roker arrogantly told writer Eric Easter that he gets no “pushback” against his left-wing climate change activism from his media colleagues. He argued that to the degree any skepticism exists in his industry, “nobody takes those people very seriously.”

“No one seems to trust anyone these days, but it occurs to me that you are one of the very few people who can claim to be trusted by almost everyone. Maybe more people are aware of what you say each day than what the president says,”Easter was a whirling delight at the top end of the obsequious trade. Roker replied: “Well, that’s flattering, but I don’t know if I live up to that. However, there is a sense. that’s the DNA of the ‘Today’ show and the relationship we have with audiences….people — hopefully — trust us, and it’s our job to be truthful and to do the best we can every day.”

The Washington Post journalist wondered: “…does the climate change story suggest that news programs need to rethink the traditional, somewhat secondary place of weather in the broadcast?” Roker touted how climate fearmongering could be connected to everything: “…on any given day we have different units within the division — medical, business, news. Our job is to combine not only climate, but also how that impacts all other units. A warming climate makes pandemics more likely, for example, so that gives us connection with the medical unit.”

In 2020, Roker claimed that one “silver lining” of the pandemic killing millions of people was that pollution was “way down.”

After Easter insisted that despite having “no evidence,” his “gut” told him climate change was real, Roker declared:

Their opinion is correct. People are aware that the climate is changing. You may get a fight about what’s causing that, though I don’t think there’s really any question about it. I think it’s pretty well determined now that it’s due to human activity, what we do and how we power our cars, homes and factories. Our oceans and planet are heating up. This ship has left. It is felt by people. That’s why I think the populous is far ahead of their elected officials.

“So where is the disconnect for action? Is it in the politics? The storytelling In who’s doing the telling?,” Easter fretted. Roker was excited to claim: “I think people want actionThey are now taking control of their destiny. Solar power, creating bike lanes, banning and limiting different types of activities: This movement is happening at a grass-roots level.”

Roker asked Roker more questions about the recent COP26 Climate Summit and Biden’s plans to join the Paris Climate Agreement. “We can’t stop; we have to keep going. Yes, nobody’s doing everything that could be done, everything is a compromise. At what point is there a tipping point where it’s too little, too late?” He hailed “automakers moving away from the internal combustion engine” and how “some consumers…expect that the companies they buy things from share their values.”

Roker’s voice sounded exactly like that of Greta Thunberg (extreme climate activist).

Easter worried whether there was enough leftist media uniformity on the issue: “I realize in these questions I’m assuming that everyone in the business of weather agrees that climate change is an issue, but are there pockets of pushback in your industry as well?”Roker assured Roker, however, that such differences of opinion were not to be tolerated.

They may exist, but they are not taken seriously. I don’t worry about other people in the business; the people I take seriously are the viewers. These are the 10 most memorable years in my career. It is easy to count the number of people in any segment who have given me support on climate change.

He then laughably maintained: “We don’t scream, ‘It’s climate change!’ We try to make it as organic as possible, and if there’s a connection we point that out, and if not, we don’t.” This coming from the same person who once preached that not fighting climate change was a “sin.”

Alluding to Roker’s longtime embarrassing bromance with President Biden, Easter remarked: “Joe Biden, in a ‘Today’ show interview years ago, suggested he might want you as head of NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]He could be president. Did that offer never come?” Roker humbly admitted: “It did not — and thankfully it did not. There are so many other people who are much better and know what they’re doing.” He then explained his real role: “I’m a messenger, I’m not an administrator.”

Roker knows that he’s far more effective as a climate propagandist for the White House on the TodayShow up every morning, rather than work for the Biden administration.
