In our final episode of the summer, Anna, Ciara, Darragh and Tom discuss Ireland's latest greenhouse gas emissions report - good news, bad news or both? Professor Barry McMullen has criticised the toxic positivity about the latest emissions, is he right?

And a new report on Climate in the Mind has some interesting findings that point to the influence of misinformation.

Meanwhile, the planet has had its hottest 12 months ever.

We finish the season with a reminder of some good news and as ever some actions to take.

Actions we recommend:

Mark the date and register for climate camp on the shores of Lough Neagh August 7th to 11th 2024!

Don't forget Gaza, keep the pressure on by getting to a national demonstration [Dublin] National Demonstration for Palestine – Stop Arming Israel!

Email your TDs – we know they’ll be working on Budget 2025 . Tell them what you need to see this spent on. Solar panels, public transport, electric car grants – There’s a general election in the air and we need action. So annoy the hell out of your TDs and push for action !

See you all in October ! (or at climate camp before that)
