To our listeners in The Bahamas, this episode is dedicated to you! For months now, you have keep us in the Top 100 Society & Culture Podcasts for your country on Apple Podcasts. The love does not go unnoticed, ever. We get so excited every week when we receive our chart update email. This week, we learn about the negative effects that climate change is having on your beautiful islands. The majority of the blame falls on larger countries, who have a bigger impact on our climate, when it comes to the extreme weather and rising sea levels that are impacting the Bahamas. We also discuss the different actions that the leadership of The Bahamas are taking to lessen their own carbon footprint.
