Summary
Weather scientists are increasingly being ignored, censored, arrested, or pushed aside by political movements around the world. From NOAA staffing cuts in the United States to jailed earthquake scientists in Italy and arrested climate activists in Europe, this episode explores the growing global conflict between science and political power. Meteorology Matters examines how attacks on scientific institutions can weaken disaster preparedness, public safety, weather policy, and public trust and why this pattern is no longer isolated to one country or one political system.
