Dirty fossil fuel secrets and business as usual

https://buymeacoffee.com/theclimatealarm

For our season finale, the gang's all here. We look at a new report that uncovers Ireland's dirty fossil fuel financing secrets.

And we find some stories of adaptation in Ireland -- Monaghan prepares for the worst, trade unions want to bring in paid climate leave and we have hosepipe bans around the country.

As Greta Thunberg demonstrates, climate justice is bound up with human rights and we are horrified by the latest atrocities in Gaza.

We're taking a break for the summer, thanks for listening and a few suggested actions while we're gone:
