Get rid of the last portion

Good information aside from the random stories in the last 5 minutes generally, the part that I always skip.

Better climate reporting please

Great reporting yet climate change peice is lacking. The recent podcast on UN climate talks somehow failed to mention the Global March to End Fossil Fuels that saw hundreds of demonstrations around the world, including one with 75,000 people in New York for ClimateWeek at the UN. As well, reporting fails to educate listeners on fossil fuels and how despite their pledges and commitments, world leaders are increasing the expansion of oil gas and coal. For example, the report in question quoted President Biden, yet failed to point out how the US is still approving massive new oil fields at such a late stage in the climate crisis.
