The book starts in O’Regan’s childhood home on a dairy farm in Dripsey in West Cork, where his late dad (who he endearingly calls Dada throughout) was a “tasty” or tidy farmer who sprayed rushes and had ditches bulldozed to widen pokey fields. He was “partial to the Gramoxone to get moss out of yards” but also a man who loved nature and planted trees to replace the dead elm. “So I knew he was one of the good guys.” At the outset he modestly warns us: “if you read one book about fixing climate change, don’t make it this one.” I’m not so sure. As he also says, “it’s clear that how the message is delivered is as important as the message now”. His refreshingly original delivery is a real contribution to spreading what Thunberg rightly describes as “the biggest story in the world”. Cawthon, Graham (2013).

On September 27, 2005, WWE released a DVD documentary focusing on Warrior's wrestling career, titled The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior. The DVD featured clips of his more notable feuds and matches along with commentary from WWE stars past and present (most of which are unflattering), with Triple H (by this point one of WWE's top main eventers and the husband of Vince McMahon's daughter Stephanie McMahon) adding that his WrestleMania debut loss against Warrior at WrestleMania XII left him with mixed emotions, saying that Warrior "ruined the experience" for him and was "one of the most unprofessional guys" he's ever performed with. [81] The DVD has provoked some controversy due to Warrior's own allegations of libel by WWE against him. Originally, Warrior was asked to help with the production of the DVD, but as he refused to work with WWE (citing he did not want to be associated with their promotion), there had been some resulting animosity between Warrior and WWE over the Warrior claiming bias on the part of WWE. [82] In January 2006, Warrior filed another lawsuit against WWE in an Arizona court over the depiction of his wrestling career in The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior DVD. [83] On September 18, 2009, Warrior's lawsuit in Arizona was dismissed.

The book is curiously silent about the troubling fact that, even as the evidence on the climate, biodiversity and sustainability crises has mounted, demagogic leaders have swung much public opinion against both science-based and egalitarian policies.Don’t worry, this isn’t a book telling you how to live off the grid and make your own planet-friendly soap from woodlice (that’s the sequel). Instead, Climate Worrier is about the journey, about trying (and often failing) to be part of the solution to the big issues, while not despairing at the endless hypocrisies that come from also being part of the problem. It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit.

This anger then gave me a hunger to do something about global environmental challenges like deforestation and climate change for the sake of humanity's survival. Stories of lost forests and poisoned rivers are not unique to my community, or even my country: this is something we all share, in Africa, around the world. I have since then been determined to do something to stop this destruction while inspiring the love for nature among children and I’m so encouraged to know that I am not alone." 4.
