Why does it always rain on me?

from The Climate Alarm Clock

G'wan you can buy us a coffee if you want! The gang are back together! Darragh, Ciara and Anna look at what's been happening since we took a break in December. (There's a hint in the episode title) We reflect on how much worse the situation in Gaza is now and how that links back to climate justice. Global average temperatures continue to break records and food production is being badly affected by rain here in Ireland and drought in other countries. Ciara has been working with food producers who are on the frontlines and struggling. And a new research study provides shocking estimates of the cost of climate damage. A CONSERVATIVE estimate is that climate damage will cost $38 trillion every year! Much cheaper to start mitigating and reduce emissions now. In a good news story, the Swiss klimatsenioren won a landmark case in the European Court of Human Rights which opens the door to other countries being held accountable for protecting their citizens with climate action. What can we do? (apart from suing the government!). Some actions we suggest this week: Join Talamh Beo to work for fairer food systems. Plant some seedlings while you're at it. Come along to Friends of the Earth education day on global justice in Richmond Barracks, Dublin 8 on Saturday 27th April Check out the Long Time Project for intergenerational thinking Organise a Street Feast (your neighbours will love you for it). Support Médicins Sans Frontières with this amazing song from Roisin el Cherif!
