Mother Nature always wins: a response to Shell drilling in the Arctic 30 Jan 15

Fri, 30 Jan 15

Shell defies its critics saying it will press ahead with drilling for oil in the Arctic, the company’s CEO Ben van Beurden explains why. We also hear a response from Lois Epstein, Arctic Program Director for the Anchorage-based Wilderness1 Society on the complexities2 of the region. Also - another milestone3 in the saga4 of the Keystone XL pipeline5 as a bill giving it the green light passes the US Senate. PLUS with conflict still raging in parts of Libya and with the Central Bank having to raid its foreign reserves to pay its bills - how long can the economy survive? In Hong Kong we are joined by Lily Kuo, a reporter for Quartz6 and from Toronto, by Ralph Silva of Silva Research Network.
