COP out? Hot Planet, Dirty COPs and electioneering

G'wan and buy us a coffee here

2024 is officially the hottest year on record and it's only November.

Meanwhile COP 29 has started in Azerbaijan... yes another COP, another petrostate and there's billions and trillions of climate finance being discussed.

Ireland gets ready for a general election on November 29th, what do climate voters need to look at? Manifestos are coming out daily, how can we sort through them and make sense of what the parties are actually doing about climate?

Ciara, Anna and Tom discuss these stories and find some good news to finish up with too.
