Sound of Niagara – Episode Summary: “When Environmentalists Lose the Plot”
In this urgent episode of Sound of Niagara, we sit down with the host of the Environmental Coffee Shop podcast and YouTube channel — a longtime environmental advocate — to talk about where the climate movement is headed… and where it’s gone dangerously off course.
From wildfires to rising waters, the science is clearer than ever — but the public conversation has never been more confused. We talk about the disturbing shift of once-principled environmental figures like RFK Jr. and tech influencers like Elon Musk, who now use the language of freedom and skepticism to undermine the very climate causes they once championed.
Why has the environmental movement been hijacked by right-wing extremism? What does it mean when lawyers and leaders who once stood up for clean water and green energy now spend more time talking conspiracy than conservation?
This episode doesn’t hold back — it’s a wake-up call about climate change, disinformation, and the battle for the soul of the environmental movement.
