Phew

Please don’t fret about those dramatic headlines about the rats that are going to grow into the size of sheep (or in one newspaper, cows!). Today I interviewed the man in charge of all of that research, Dr Jan Zalasiewicz, a geologist at the University of Leicester. He says, yes, it COULD happen (but so could almost anything else) and it won’t happen anyway for several more million years. Phew. You get the facts, not the sensation, here on BBC Radio Berkshire.
