Hello and

I'm Paul de Kannock.

I'm Christina Figuetes. And I'm Paul Dickinson.

So hi everyone, it's Tom here it's great to be back after a couple of weeks of rest away with my family and to confirm to you that I am not despite Christina's

completely unfair assertion either in jail or

under the responsibility of the authorities here in the UK. I did in fact finish my

holiday a few days ago down in Cornwall and actually stopped off on the way home

in Plymouth to see Greta and wish her well on her sail across the Atlantic.

It was amazing to go down and see the setup, this amazing boat, to see her, she just seemed

in such good spirits to kind of get going and amazing that the trip is already almost halfway

done and she is right now mid-Atlantic and speeding

towards New York. The interest that trip is generating is just fantastic and

it's really building the energy for what has to be a

breakthrough summit at the UN in September. But much more on that in the weeks to

come. For now I'm so happy to be back talking to you. I hope everyone in the

northern hemisphere and indeed everywhere else who was able to has been able to have

some time off. We'll be bringing you your usual episode of Outrage and

optimism on Thursday and I'm looking forward to seeing Paul and

Christina tomorrow to record that and will also be speaking with a personal hero of mine.

Bill Nye, the science guy, who ran for years that program of that name in the US and is just the most

remarkable communicator of science, he's passionate, he's effective advocate for adhering to science in many different forms climate

science of course being a major part of that he'll be joining us this week
