Environment explained: Earth Beat

More about:

Each week Radio Netherlands Worldwide explores environmental issues in Earth Beat. Host Marnie Chesterton and the Earth Beat team look at our footprint on this big round world of ours.
 
One of the feature items this week is a slightly less than serious proposal - the SurvivaBall.
 


 
If  you do take to heart what most of the scientists are saying you may be envisaging a catastrophic future of floods and earthquakes - take heart, there IS a climate change solution even if the Copenhagen talks all come to nothing. It’s called the SURVIVABALL. Dr Northrop Goody, head of Halliburton's Emergency Products Development Unit, talked to Earth Beat about the company’s new climate change survival product. Dr Goody may or may not be associated with faux-corporate hoaxers The Yes Men. Listen and let us know what you think. 
 
More serious offerings are of course on offer too - follow the link for the Earth Beat page.
