In need of an update: Today Show article about Al Roker in northern Alaska doesn't mention Arctic weather returning

Lake Michigan on Polar Vortex Day

The Today Show's Al Roker is in the former Barrow, Alaska reporting on human-caused climate change.

Where was Roker--who once took a dump in his pants in the White House and then went "commando" for the rest his visit there--when the 2019 Polar Vortex invaded Marathon Pundit world headquarters in Morton Grove, Illinois two months ago?

That cold snap killed 21 people--most of them in the Midwest.

From the Today Show site:

Al Roker headed to Utqiagvik, Alaska, considered ground zero for climate change, to learn from the scientists gathering critical information there that could help save the Earth.

Formerly known as Barrow, the community sits at the farthest north tip of the country. When Al arrived on Saturday, March 30, Utqiagvik hit a record high of 33, which was 36 degrees above average. To put it into perspective, that would be like New York City hitting 91 or Miami reaching 117 on the same spring day.

Wow, break out the swimsuits and head to the Arctic ocean! Better yet, in the spirt of Roker going commando, just skinny dip instead!

There's just one problem. That story, dated today, leaves out one detail.

Temps are back to normal now on the North Slope.  At 5:23pm Alaska Time it is 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

On Tuesday the expected high is 3 degrees.

Roker clearly is confusing weather with climate.

Thanks to a friend "up north" for the story idea.
