Four Green Fields: The Climate Crisis, Culture Wars and Myths
Update: 2025-09-06
Description
Ireland is a rural country. We believe that the values that sustain us are values that have been shaped by our struggle for land and our struggles on the land.
But as the climate emergency reaches a point of no return, how damaging have these foundational myths about Ireland been?
On Free State today John Gibbons talks about Ireland’s failure in tackling climate change.
He explains why farming today is not what it was when we shaped our romantic view of it and why agribusiness has used national myths to advance one side of a culture war.
