  • A helpful reality check

    Just listened to episode 4, my first, and yes Philip can be a doom merchant but I feel he was presenting the facts of fire risks in Irish forests and the need for more data, more modelling and out of the box solutions. A must-listen.

    More generally the podcasts reveal the real-life gaps in government planning and potentially jeopardising our must-achieve 2030 green objectives.

    Rigorously researched, nuanced. Conversations with experts who challenge long held views with scientific evidence.

    Policy on this subject needs to be approached in this way.

    A must for anyone with a passing interest in the Irish response to climate change.
