TBakerDavies Companies like Sasol are a liability looking at the data backed prediction of climate change related risks. Investors are rightfully risk averse. We recommend to pull out and invest in renewables. Huge growth, new jobs for all, little risk.

Sasol just has to keep on producing fossil fuel and create more jobs for people and not worry about climate change
