Episodes
  • Good news or toxic positivity?
    Jul 12 2024

    https://buymeacoffee.com/theclimatealarm

    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)

  • Rogue Ministers and Nature Restoration Law
    Jun 21 2024

    Buy us a coffee and leave a comment :)

    We start with good news, the Nature Restoration Law is passed in the EU, thanks to the leadership of a 'rogue' Austrian environment minister. Darragh, Anna and Ciara discuss how it happened, the role Ireland played and some of the reactions.

    Then, what have the Greens done for us anyway? We chat about Eamon Ryan's resignation and legacy.

    Extreme heat is killing people around the world, from the Hajj in Mecca to Greece and the US midwest, and a new study examines resilience in the face of disasters.

    In good news, rewilding creates jobs in Scotland.

    And we're impressed with Just Stop Oil again.

    Actions:

    Go out and enjoy nature!

    In Dublin, check out Stoneybatter Festival, they have an EcoHub and a Bike Bop.
