COVID-19 and climate change - March 10, 2020

Hi friends! This week we dive in and talk about COVID-19 (aka the novel coronavirus), after avoiding it as long as we could! We discuss COVID-19’s impact on climate change and oil prices, and a powerful succulent in South Africa called spekboom. Oh! And Curtis rants about falling down a rabbit hole of trying to source an article’s information. Enjoy!

Also, apologies for Louis the cat’s multiple outbursts (oops).
