NBC's Sunday Today decided to needlessly panic their viewers by regurgitating a laughably absurd report by the United Nations claiming much of the southern United States will be unlivable by the year 2070. This isn't exactly the kind of news people want to start their morning by hearing. Even though reasonable viewers know instinctively that it's not a realistic possibility. Worst of all, NBC's meteorologist Angie Lassman was the one to repeat the Democrat Party's climate cult talking points live on air. You would think she would know better.
Filling in for host Willie Geist, Joe Fryer referenced the heatwave much of the United States was experiencing over the past few weeks: "The human body simply can't handle these levels of heat and will go into heat stress."
Fryer then asked Lassman: "With much of the country and the world experiencing these record temps, at what point do certain areas just simply become uninhabitable for humans?"
This gave Lassman her opening to claim hot weather (also known as Summer) will eventually cause much of the south to be unlivable for humans: "That point actually probably closer than what you think. A United Nations report released late last year says that much of the south, including areas in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and California, will be less suitable for humans to live in by 2070, just less than 50 years from now," Lassman claimed.
"That report also states that up to one-third of the global population will start experiencing life-threatening heat conditions, something that we currently only see in places like the Sahara," she added.
Much of this discussion was based on the lie that spread during the week that the world hit its hottest day ever. Our friends at Climate Depot recently linked to a great explanation for why this is a total scam just like the idea of "man-made climate change" itself.
This latest instance of climate change alarmism on NBC was made possible by Allstate. Their information is linked.

8:22:05 a.m. EasternJOE FRYER: Angie as you mentioned, the human body simply can't handle these levels of heat and will go into heat stress. But with much of the country and the world experiencing these record temps, at what point do certain areas just simply become uninhabitable for humans?
ANGIE LASSMAN: Yeah, Joe that’s a great question. That point actually probably closer than what you think. A United Nations report released late last year says that much of the south, including areas in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and California, will be less suitable for humans to live in by 2070, just less than 50 years from now. That report also states that up to one-third of the global population will start experiencing life-threatening heat conditions, something that we currently only see in places like the Sahara. This all means climate migration, people in the hottest areas with the most vulnerable populations moving to avoid the heat and drought conditions. That, of course, will put pressure on the cities and towns they move to. The heat projected to cause this ripple effect this century, Joe.
FRYER: The clock is ticking. Angie, thank you so much.
