Yes, but like we know 76, 83, 95.
So those great summers, and this is the best heatwave for 50 years.
But under climate change, you get this every five years as opposed to every 50 years and you get the impacts of droughts.
And of course, it's not just drought.
We're seeing the wildfires in Canada that were mentioned there that are actually threatening pollution at the World Cup final tonight and having Trump threaten tariffs on Canada for not controlling their wildfires while he denies climate change.
And we're seeing the massive wildfires in Spain this week where 12 people were killed.
We saw one of the kind of Euro camp style places Irish people go in France for...
flattened by fire overnight when they luckily escaped to the beach and got home.
But we are seeing what we thought was something far away and remote in time or in place increasingly closer and closer to our lives in climate breakdown.
Yeah, can I just say that?
I mean, I think banning the disposable barbecues, which most people use in their own homes, would be mad on the government's part when they, for example, are building an LNG import terminal in Clare.
You know, it's sort of putting it back on people.

It won't actually reduce the price, but it'll look like he's doing something to increase the supply of what's causing all these problems.
Yes, the article is actually more about the football match than it is about the OTB, but we might come back to the OTB.
And he's basically saying, how can we be consistent about this Qatar, who Ireland is playing this week, have an appalling human rights record and there's nothing like the same level of concern among the Irish public.
But on the other hand, obviously, there's a huge concern about Israel coming to play on the 4th of October.
