Episode notes

Climate experts say no nation is moving fast enough, including britain. Nobody's doing what's necessary to hit the target of limiting warming to one point five degrees celsius. But that same ranking did rank the u k. High fourth out of the 61 emitter countries it examined. The us, meanwhile, comes in near the bottom, number 55 out of 61.

Among the wealthy, industrialized Western countries that created the climate crisis, Scotland is one of the leaders in pivoting away from fossil fuels – or promising to. Just how quickly will Scots be willing to cut off the flow – of oil, and money? Part 8 of The Repair, our series on the climate emergency.
