'Today' Revives Carbon-Spewing 'Ends of the Earth' Special

If at first you don’t succeed in convincing viewers global warming is a problem, try, try again. That must be the NBC “Today” show’s motto.

The morning show crew announced Nov. 6 it will air the second annual “Ends of the Earth” feature beginning Nov. 17. The show’s four co-hosts will travel to “fragile yet beautiful places, locales, for an up-close look at how the planet is changing and what those changes mean for all of us,” weatherman Al Roker said.

“Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer said the 2008 installment will focus on “the world’s most precious and essential resource. We’re talking about water.”

News anchor Ann Curry promised the feature would offer “an intense look at what’s happening to our planet, especially with global warming.”

But in the segment announcing the feature, “Today” didn’t acknowledge the irony of sending four hosts – and camera crews, producers and other crew – to remote locations to talk about global warming. The trips will pump tons of carbon emissions – which global warming alarmists point to as a major culprit in climate change – into the atmosphere.
