Trump & GOP Push Misinformation on Hurricanes as Climate Crisis Intensifies Across Globe

[Uncle Joe]

As we continue to cover the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, we speak with Manuel Ivan Guerrero, a freshman at the University of Central Florida and an organizer with the Sunrise Movement, who says young people are extremely worried about the impact of the climate crisis on their communities. "This just has me more scared for what the future's going to look like in Florida," he says. "We're having these thousand-year storms every three, four years now."

We also speak with David Wallace-Wells, a writer for The New York Times opinion section and a columnist for The New York Times Magazine, where he frequently writes about climate. He says the popularity of conspiracy theories during extreme weather events shows that many people are retreating "into little cocoons of disinformation and paranoia, and that scares me in some ways even more than the weather itself."
