Abstract
If in coming decades floods periodically inundate the eastern third of South Africa and droughts are unbearable in the western two-thirds, and if the main ports of eThekwini, Cape Town, Richard’s Bay, Buffalo City and Mandela Metropole (including the new Coega complex) are gradually submerged - perhaps four metres below present sea levels in a century - once sufficiently large sections of Antarctica, the Arctic Circle and Greenland melt, where might South Africans turn to hurl the blame?.
