In this episode, we explore why South Africa is setting all the wrong records: worst carbon emitter in Africa, one of the highest per capita in the world, worst carbon emissions single point source in the world and some of the worst air quality in the world in Mpumalanga. Although we all bear some responsibility, the overwhelming problem lies in our historical dependency on coal, and just two companies are to blame for more than half of our emissions. Meanwhile, the SA government under President Cyril Ramaphosa seems to be a veritable contradiction when it comes to the climate crisis, both acknowledging climate change as an "urgent" threat, and backing fossil fuels to hell and back.
