Yes Men Survival Ball Yanks Halliburton’s Chain

The Yes Men, a group of environmental and corporate ethics activists pushing a “SurvivaBall”, designed to save corporate executives from the effects of global warming, pulled a prank on Halliburton at the Catastrophic Loss conference held at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Amelia Island, Florida.
The group, which has pulled similar stunts on Dow Chemical Co. and the World Trade Organization, says it presented the phony global-warming-protection suits — priced at $100 million each, nonetheless — to show that corporations are more concerned about profits than taking expensive steps to reduce carbon emissions to reduce global warming.
