Across more than four decades at NBC, Al Roker has covered a wide range of extreme weather. He's also traveled to cover some unforgettable stories, but which was his favorite? The Today co-host sits down with NBC meteorologist Chase Cain to discuss some of the weather events and stories he'll never forget.

Al has also covered nearly two dozen Summer and Winter Olympic Games for the Today Show, beginning with Atlanta in 1996, and he talked with Chase about how climate change is increasingly impacting sports. Al noted a recent study which found that, of the 21 host cities for the Winter Olympics, only Sapporo, Japan will be able to reliably host the Games because of climate change. That's prompting concern among winter athletes — especially with the 2026 Milan Cortina games quickly approaching.

The Environmental Voter Project has contacted nearly 13 million voters over the last decade, and before the 2026 midterm elections, they plan to contact 5 million! Over the next 12 months, the nonpartisan group will target Americans who care deeply about addressing climate change but have never voted in a midterm election. EVP hopes to turn those people into consistent voters.

Nathaniel Stinnett, EVP’s founder and executive director, says their work has never been more important, because the group discovered many Americans don’t consider climate change a “political” issue. The group conducted a national poll which found that nearly 1-in-5 Americans think about climate impacts every day, but none of them thought that voting could be a solution to addressing the crisis. Not a single person!

Meteorologist Chase Cain talks with Nathaniel Stinnett about what 2025’s off-year elections could reveal about 2026. And they dig into the surprising findings of EVP’s national poll and how it could shape the future of climate action in the U.S.

What would happen if Americans of faith were on the front lines of advocating for the protection of our planet? That's the dream of Climate Revival, co-founded by Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr. and Grammy-nominated Broadway star Antonique Smith. The two want to engage Black churches in climate action, because the Bible calls Christians to be stewards of God's creation. However, this conversation extends beyond the bounds of religion. NBC meteorologist Chase Cain talks with them about how their work has the potential to reshape communities of color across the United States.

Many Black and brown communities struggle with extreme urban heat in the summer, more frequent flooding, and higher levels of air pollution — all because of the legacy of redlining in America. NBC has highlighted those effects from the San Francisco Bay Area to Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Climate Revival believes Black churches can be the key to repair those historical challenges.

In the fall of 2024, Rev. Yearwood and Antonique launched a Climate Revival tour from New Orleans to Philadelphia. And they're continuing with another climate rally in Atlanta on October 12th.
