    Misinformation vs Science: Hurricane Lies, Climate Truths, & Fat Bears

    On this episode of Unsolicited Perspectives, Bruce Anthony is breaking down some wild conspiracy theories, like the one Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans are pushing about the government controlling hurricanes. Spoiler alert: President Biden and pretty much everyone else with common sense shut that down fast. But that leads Bruce into the real deal—how climate change is actually making hurricanes worse. He talks about how warmer oceans and rising sea levels are fueling stronger storms, like Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and why we need to get serious about sustainable solutions. #climatechange #hurricanes #fatbearweek #misinformation_buster #unsolicitedperspectives  To keep things light, Bruce mixes in some easy-to-follow analogies so even the tricky climate science stuff makes sense. And then, just when you think it's all heavy topics, he switches gears to chat about 'Fat Bear Week'—yeah, you heard that right! It's a fun, interactive event in Alaska that raises awareness about wildlife conservation. By the end, Bruce hammers home the point: fighting misinformation and making responsible choices are key if we want to handle climate change and protect the planet. 🔔 Hit that subscribe and notification button for weekly content that bridges the past to the future with passion and perspective.
