COP 30: Still no mention of fossil fuels?!?

https://buymeacoffee.com/theclimatealarm

The team are back together to chat about COP 30 which just finished up in Belem at the mouth of the mighty Amazon. Darragh, Anna and Ciara look at the highlights and lowlights of this year's Conference of the Parties and wonder why 56,000 people needed to be there.

Commitment to the Paris Agreement is still hanging on, Just Transition is featuring more strongly and Adaptation to climate change is now in the mix. But climate action is still falling short and fossil fuels are off the hook again.

What about the Irish response? Taoiseach Micheal Martin made a rousing speech at COP, quickly followed by advocating for new fossil fuel infrastructure back at home.

Is there ANY good news out there? We find some stories that make us happy. Puffins and more puffins!

Actions we recommend:

Don't forget Gaza, join the national demonstration for Palestine on November 29th

Join the mass lobby to put climate back on the political agenda
