Hot Mess

Was 10 months of rain from July to April our new normal? The world temporarily went beyond the 1.5 degrees of additional warming we have committed to holding it to. Philip talks to scientists about why this happened, and what it says about how wet it will get.

What the latest research says about how climate change will shape the planet for those alive now.

Philip comes up with a plan to save the world

What if we can't deliver our offshore wind targets on time?

New research shows the increased climate warming pollution the aviation sector doesn't want to talk about.

What was and wasn't agreed at the global climate summit

Should Ireland leave all its oil and gas reserves in the ground or drill to achieve energy independence?

What was the cabinet sub committee on climate change told by Ireland's leading climate scientist at a recent private briefing?

Might the biggest obstacle to effective climate action be us?

The things we got wrong about Data Centres and how they could be made a part of Ireland's climate solution.

What upheaval on Antarctica's ice sheets means for the future of Ireland's coastal communities.

Does the absence of a national Hydrogen Plan mean Ireland is letting a golden opportunity to cut emissions slip? And in the absence of that plan, are fossil fuel companies making their own?

Climate Change means wildfires in Ireland are going to increase in frequency and intensity. We reveal for the first time the CO2 emissions created by accidental and controlled burning.

The debate about cutting emissions from agriculture is dogged by dispute, division and denial of science. Is there a way of finding common ground between environmentalists and farmers?

Might a growing protest campaign against Bord Na Mona's rewetting of bogs derail one of Ireland's most important climate actions before its begun?

A major wrinkle in meeting Ireland's renewable energy targets. Are wealthy vested interests standing in the way of vital national infrastructure or is there a public problem with wind and solar power.
