Big Polluters: Ships v Cars and the 'Husband-Proof' shopping list.

The Thought Show

Available for over a year

Do the largest container ships emit as much pollution as all the cars in the world? We check out the claims and the different types of emissions produced by container ships and cars. We hear from the Indian couple behind the viral 'husband-proof' shopping list; and the targeting of a Finnish journalist by pro Russian online trolls. How easy is it to live in a small space? Is sharing space more important than having space to ourselves? Catherine Carr reports. (image: the ultra-large container ship MOL Triumph from South Korea, coming in to port.
