Are just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions and how stressed are South Africans?

from More or Less · host BBC Radio 4

In the fight against global warming we’re constantly told to do our bit to reduce green house gas emissions.

We look into this and the claim that the pandemic pushed South African stress levels up by 56%.
