Temperature gets higher as species count gets lower - EU Nature Restoration Law with John Gibbons

Buymeacoffee.com/theclimatealarm

This week, Anna and Clara are joined by leading Irish environmental journalist John Gibbons for our news roundup.

John tells us about his own journey to climate reporting and how he manages his climate anxiety. He tells us the story about how getting sucked into a shouting match on national radio taught him to stay calm and factual in media interactions.

We look at the WMO report that the planet is likely to overshoot 1.5C in the next five years. John takes us through the debate about the EU nature restoration law and why it’s needed now more than ever as new research shows species decline is even worse than thought.

Actions for this week:

Take action to #RestoreNature

Help Greenpeace's campaign to #BanPrivateJets
