It's not just you: the weather is getting worse. And if there's one person who would know, it's "America's weatherman," Al Roker, who's spent decades reporting live from some of the worst storms and natural disasters in history. He explains how we can each take action to address climate change and work towards a more sustainable, hopeful future for generations to come.

Severe storms, wildfires, and floods are becoming more frequent and intense, fueled by climate change and warming oceans. From 2016 to 2019, there were four consecutive years with Category 5 hurricanes, an unprecedented streak. Vulnerable communities, often least responsible for emissions, face the harshest impacts, with hundreds of millions at risk of displacement. Everyday decisions, like electrifying tools or choosing sustainable clothing, help build a more hopeful future.
