Gobsmackingly bananas: scientists respond to September highs

Another month, another record-breaking temperature. Darragh, Anna and Ciara review reactions to the hottest September ever recorded and get out the beachwear ahead of a warm weekend in Ireland.

As it gets hotter, governments are going backwards, especially our nearest neighbours who have once again degenerated into farce, unfortunately for all of us as they renege on climate action commitments.

Meanwhile, an Irish fiscal watchdog warns about the cost of climate action, while ignoring the benefits and the science (well they are economists).

And the Pope comes out swinging in favour of climate action.

Things to do this week:

Come to the Irish Film Institute on Tuesday at 6:30 for a showing of the movie, How to Blow Up a Pipeline , followed by what will be a lively debate chaired by Anna.

On the 14th Oct, in Kilkenny County Council, a workshop for teachers called 'Creativity in a Changing Climate' is being hosted by Lisa Fingleton, details at https://www.creativity.oide.ie/

In Galway, head to Headford's community arts festival this weekend, Something in the Water... lots of great events and reimagining the town centre.
