It’s just some of the stuff I need to take a look at in the nearest time.

Nuclear physics on Wikipedia. In our environmental law class today, we were talking about whether it’s possible to use nuclear waste to produce dirty nuclear bombs. I really doubt it; I do think the science is pretty different between the two and I just want to recap some of the basic school physics to be able to argue in the debate. 

The BBC is now covering the Arctic issues almost every day. Here’s another BBC article on the climate change/Arctic change thing. This time someone in the US Coast Guard thinks there may well be a conflict over the unresolved Arctic border disputes. Now are we talking World War Three I wonder?

Environmental ethics, also from Wikpedia. How green should we be, and where does sustainable development really fit in? 

Space law, interesting stuff too :)

And here it comes – the major scandal. Now Mrs Palin can consider herself a full-fledged member of the big party. She’s got her very own, significant scandal which perfectly suits her personalty ;)
