As Donald announces $3bn support for fossil fuels we discuss what this means for fighting the climate emergency, especially when rising average temperatures are predicted.  We also discuss Dale's forthcoming book, The Manifesto - where you invest your pension to save the planet, and tackle a bumper mailbag of your questions - including Chinese nuclear power plants, Vegemite or Marmite and mor...

With Sizewell C costing £20bn to build, and power WAY more expensive than offshore wind, Dale wonders why the UK is still backing nuclear power? We take aim at Drax too - having broken the country’s 2 month coal-free streak. We also answer your questions and talk Marmite and Robert Jenrick.

We’re deep in the midst of the coronavirus crisis - but the huge steps we are taking to save lives could equally be used to save the planet.   Dale and Ian discuss more news from lockdown - and how this is a chance not to get back to the old ‘normal.’  There’s also more from The Donald - will the virus kill his presidency?

Could government’s fight climate crisis with the same vigour as they are battling the coronavirus outbreak?
