On Wednesday, NBC’s Today show weatherman and adoring Joe Biden groupie Al Roker could barely contain his excitement over the President planning to issue executive orders that would force through radical climate change policies.
Roker gushed over Biden preparing to declare climate change a “national security priority” and treated a top White House environmental advisor to a softball chat to promote the left-wing agenda.
“President Biden will be signing some executive actions around climate. One of them is gonna actually elevate climate change as a national security priority,” Roker gleefully announced during a weather report in the 7:30 a.m. ET half-hour.
Pointing to a map of U.S. military bases, he melodramatically warned: “…if you look at some of our top military sites across the country, the greatest warming, these sites are most at risk for climate change and, in fact, a 2017 Department of Defense study showed that climate change is the number one threat for homeland security.”
During that same segment, he touted an upcoming interview with former EPA administrator and Biden administration national climate advisor Gina McCarthy during the 3rd Hour Today show.
At the start of that friendly sit-down in the 9:00 a.m. ET hour, Roker hailed:
One of the first actions President Biden took after taking office was rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, signaling his commitment to battling climate change.
Well, today, the President is set to lay out his plan and announce several new executive actions, including establishing a national climate task force. White House national climate advisor, the first one, Gina McCarthy, joining us now with more on the administration’s climate agenda.
The longtime climate crusader seized on recent natural disasters to boost the Biden agenda in his first question to McCarthy:
“Well, according to NOAA, nearly 10.3 million acres of land destroyed by wildfires last year, record-setting 30 storms named during the Atlantic hurricane season. Globally, the second hottest year on record… Why is climate change a matter of national security?”
McCarthy was clearly happy to have an easy national platform to sell the policy:
Well, Al, I think you’re asking me a question that we’ve been talking about for a number of years, which is that climate change is one of the most significant threats that we have to our health, our well-being. It’s one of the most significant threats we have to our safety, both here domestically, as well as internationally.
She then promised Roker that his enthusiastic support would be rewarded: “Which is why the President today is signing three executive orders. And you’re gonna really get excited about this because two of them are focused on bringing back science integrity… The third is all about tackling climate change, which is really one of the biggest threats of our lifetime.”
Rather than challenge McCarthy on the fact that the President just eliminated thousands of jobs by canceling the Keystone XL pipeline under the guise of helping the environment, Roker instead teed her up to laughably claim the administration’s efforts to destroy the fossil-fuel industry would somehow be a job creator:
“So the administration, as you mentioned, laying the groundwork for a new climate and clean energy policies in several different sectors. How’s that going to affect infrastructure going forward? And to your point, what does this mean for jobs?” McCarthy asserted: “Well, it means millions of new jobs in clean energy.”
Following the exchange, co-host Craig Melvin joined in applauding the effort: “Yeah, among the other things I was just reading, Al, they’re going to create the Civilian Climate Corps Initiative, putting an entire generation of Americans to work conserving and restoring public lands and water, akin to what FDR did.”
Roker gushed: “That’s right, this is like a public works project, a New Deal, an Americorps for the environment, which is something we need.”
NBC’s blatant cheerleading for Biden’s controversial climate activism was brought to viewers by Liberty Mutual and Neutrogena. You can fight back by letting these advertisers know what you think of them sponsoring such content.
