Some articles that I felt I could share with fellow bloggers today:

1)  A topic that seems to have exploded on the scene in the real as well as the virtual world: Global warming

Contributions to accelerating atmospheric CO2 growth from economic activity, carbon intensity, and efficiency of natural sinks

2)  And subsequent to it, In India, Supreme Court comes to our rescue:

Norwegian pension fund decision echoes in SC: Vedanta can’t mine in Orissa hills

Though a window is left open by asking its Indian subsidiary, Sterlite, to submit a fresh proposal. The action of banning Vedanta by Norwegian Pension fund could just be the way forward. A eco-audit of all the listed companies could be carried out and those who do not conform to the tight norms, could be black listed (No trade allowed by Fis, etc) or even delisted.

SC does not rest here. There’s another article:

From Suzlon project to Bellary mining: SC questions clearances

3)  A destination that is on my must-visit list, possibly next year. AN elephant orphanage!

4)  Lastly for physics freaks, the Schroedinger’s cat may finally be out of the box! The difference between classical and quantum physics may be bridged.
