I am delighted to hear the witnesses feel it is woven in. I do not think it is sufficiently and I do not think those shows are being used enough, but as I said last week to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, BAI, the climate science is indisputable now. That is not where the argument is anymore. What we are talking about is climate action, and what I see is that there is not enough about climate action, for instance, that people are walking and cycling on shows instead of using cars. Of course, some people will always need to use cars. I do not see enough climate action being woven through and it is still presented as a debate between one versus the other when it comes to climate action. In fact, we in our party, and I know I am probably not the only one, would be asked to go on shows against our own colleagues in government when it comes to climate action. I do not like to do that, but that shows it is still desirable in some of the shows that there is some kind of conflict around climate action and that it is politicised rather than it just being said that the facts are indisputable.
