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 the April 3, 2013 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!”
