In this week's episode, Darragh, Tom and Ciara dive into the week's biggest climate headlines:

• Cyclone Chido devastates Mayotte
• Storm Darragh causes widespread power outages across Ireland and closes Holyhead port
• What do the recent election results mean for climate action in Ireland?

We also take a moment to reflect on 2024, sharing a frank and admittedly, slightly gushy discussion about the emotional toll of caring deeply about the climate crisis throughout the year. To wrap up the year, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the state of the world too so drop us a line!
