The insurance industry is warning that the climate crisis could lead to the end of capitalism. Darragh, Ciara and Anna look at what they are saying about climate risk and what that means in Ireland where more and more homes are threatened by rising sea levels.

Separately, the EU has advised citizens to have a stockpile of 72 hours of supplies – is it time to start prepping? George Monbiot has two months' supply for his family. We discuss the risk to food security and debate our must-haves for our prep bags.

In other news, 'same shit, different year' -- floods, fires, climate disasters and heat records from around the globe.

We do find some good news to conclude !
