50-year-old town in South Africa named the worst polluter in the world

Secunda is the world's largest single-point emitter, with Sasol and Air Liquide questioned over their operations in the area.

Too many people employed there. Kill it all off. Let them sit unemployed at home with no income. Exactly what the Globalists want.

An international player also in the firing line

Spoiler: they're referring to Air Liquide

"The town supplies both the Sasol complex and the nearby coal mines. The town has more than 40,000 inhabitants, while the Sasol facility employs over 28,000 people"

That is a massive workforce on one facility.
It’s crazy that this place is worse than even the Chinese factories, I find that hard to believe, does China even properly report these kinds of emissions?

That is a lot of smokestacks though

Looking at the AQI over that place any day of the week...yeah, it checks out

This sort of thing puts it into perspective. Nothing SA does matters in terms of global emissions. We could switch off absolutely everything and you wouldn't even be able to see the change on a graph of global emissions.

Unless India, China and the US come to the table nothing anybody else does matters.

Wasn't Vanderbijlpark also named most polluted place on Earth not too long ago?
