## Resource

Twenty years after An Inconvenient Truth , how well have scientific warnings held up? In this episode of Meteorology Matters, we examine the lessons of the past two decades, from the recovery of the ozone layer and the decline of acid rain to growing concerns about extreme heat during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and remarkable winter warmth in Antarctica. We also explore a new challenge facing researchers and the public: the rise of AI-generated fake studies and the growing importance of trust in science and scientific communication. Join us for a thoughtful discussion about weather, environmental change, scientific integrity, artificial intelligence, and what the next twenty years may bring.
