It’s the last episode this side of Dale’s favourite event of the year - we kick off with an important update at FGR and talk air pollution, artificial rain and a new kind of snow. Your questions then take us to the next election, our dodgy democracy, living in caves and un-inventing things, like Right Wing radio stations. Happy Solstice everyone and see you in the new year!

Dale shares his final assessment of COP28 and why there’s reasons to be cheerful. We debunk a long list of porkies from Sunak, whether a ban on SUVs would be a hit, and why going nuclear isn’t the answer. Plus more on food, ULEZ, Andy Burnham’s new electrification scheme, and how PR can take the sting out of party tribalism?

Dale is in complete disbelief as COP28 President Al Jaber says there’s “no science” behind the phasing out of fossil fuels, claiming it would take the world back into caves. A climate denier is running the show into the ground! Meanwhile, Europeans are cutting down on meat consumption, with Sir David Attenborough urging us to switch to a plant-based diet to best protect nature. Britain is set to miss the Paris Climate Targets thanks to Sunak’s lies - why haven’t the Tories woken up and smelt the flowers yet? Keep your great questions coming in! 

Dale receives a threatening letter from the DVLA over his electric bike, but fear not as we spill the beans on COP28 and how big meat companies are planning a large presence there. With Portugal running solely on renewables for 6 days straight, Dale has some new stats to share on China’s phenomenal push for renewables. We also dissect Branson’s latest PR stunt involving sustainable jet fuel, and answer your questions on energy caps, heat pumps, and if Starmer really is the answer. 

Where’s the green stuff in the budget?  We looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.  Dale remembers the time he met David Cameron. Also, it turns out you’re able to call somebody ‘Tory Scum’ - it’s actually a basic right of law. There’s some data that suggests veganism is on the decline, but Dale is pretty sure this is statistical chicanery.   We talk about how rich lifestyles are driving the climate war - and what could be done to address this? The former boss of Sky News says news organisations need to do more to cover the climate crisis - what should they do? We’ve got your questions too.

It's been quite a week. Braverman has finally been sacked for hate speech, concluding her tenure by stating that Sunak has “no mandate to be PM”. David Cameron is back, who infamously talked about ‘cutting the green crap’. Will he now end his time in the Foreign Office talking about cutting the brown crap? A conflict of interest emerges as the new environment chief is married to an exec of a sewage-dumping firm, while Sunak’s inhumane Rwanda policy is deemed unlawful. Dale answers your questions as we discuss carbon offsetting projects, climate deniers in the States, and how a fairer tax system can bring us more renewable energy.

We’re on course for the hottest year on record, yet King Charles announces the exploration of new oil and gas licenses. Are we in the Twilight Zone? Dale’s asked what he’d do if he were PM, how the Dutch are using sewage to power homes, and Dale debunks the Tory’s energy security myth. Plus, how can we encourage more people to ditch meat? And despite the doom and gloom in the world, Dale gives us some reasons to be cheerful.

We jam-pack loads for this one, including the climate impact of food and why it’s often overlooked - despite being one of the biggest contributors to climate change. On the Twitter battleground, Dale fact-checks right-wing nut Matt le Tissier on EV sales and discusses the repercussions of Sunak’s net zero U-turn. Meanwhile, Sunak interviews Musk at the AI Summit (yes, you read that right), how air pollution is causing diabetes, and Dale outlines some quick wins Starmer could do to tackle climate change. 

It’s been a truly bizarre week for Dale. A tweet about the recent floods enrages the shock jocks from TalkTV. Even David Icke joins the fray, becoming Dale’s latest Twitter troll. Weather expert Thérèse Coffey explains why the UK was unprepared for Storm Babet simply because “the rain came from the east”. How do people like her get into power? We also discuss hydrogen boilers, toxins in reusable cups, and whether voting should be compulsory. Plus, how the UN’s been downplaying livestock emissions due to pressure from the farming lobby.

Greta gets arrested outside an oil conference, formerly named the ‘Oil and Money Forum’. Rishi Sunak and his family continue to be on state benefits, and not the kind that we're used to, or the kind that they love to cut. 

We also look at the alarming Amazon drought, why Mozambique and Mail are leading the way in stopping air pollution. Plus how much would the average household bill cost if the UK went 100% green? Keep your questions rolling in!
