NBC Goes to Greenland to Explore Climate Change
Former Vice President Al Gore, who recently won the Nobel Peace Prize for his battle against global warming, thanked NBC's Today show on Monday November 6th for going to the ends of the earth to explore the issue of climate change.
In what the Today show billed as a "first," anchor Matt Lauer reported live from Ilulissat above the Arctic Circle, correspondent Ann Curry reported live from Antarctica and weatherman Al Roker was live at the equator. "An incredible broadcast from three extreme locations," Matt Lauer said at the top of the show.

Lauer said the Today show would bring viewers "stunning images" as well as information "that's going to make you stop and think about the state of our planet - how we're treating it and how it's going to treat us."
Later on the program, anchor Meredith Vieira interviewed Al Gore about what he called a "planetary emergency."
"I've been trying to tell the story for more than 30 years...and I congratulate the Today show on going to the Artic and Antarctic and the Equator and really going all-out to tell this story," Gore said.
After two days of live reporting from Ilulissat, Lauer returned to New York, but told open-heartedly in an interview that he would go back to Greenland “in a heartbeat”, and added: “If there's any message from this week of programming, it's get out and see some things that we're placing in jeopardy first hand, because it changes your whole perspective.”
