Ciara, Darragh and Anna are joined by another special guest this week. Comedian and actor Tadhg Hickey (and self-proclaimed Cork morale booster) is famous for his hard-hitting satirical sketches and stand-up comedy. Tadhg’s new memoir: A PORTRAIT OF THE PISS ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN has just been released to critical acclaim. He’s been particularly vocal on Gaza and Palestine and in 2021 raised €30,000 to help refugees there.  Tadhg arrived at climate issues through his long-time focus on colonialism and is passionate about climate justice.

Tadhg joins us to take a look at some of this week's headlines.

  • A new Loss and Damage Deal: Climate Justice is on the agenda at COP
  • Greta Thunberg ruffles some feathers by insisting there's no climate justice on occupied lands
  • And here in Ireland a new Friends of the Earth poll is a ‘temperature check’ on Irish public opinion about climate - we look at the fascinating and sometimes contradictory findings.
