You would think that an exponentially warming earth soon to be inhabitable to all life forms make everyone work in concert to combat it. There’s only one earth anyway. It’s our home. Unless you’re thinking of migrating to Venus or Mars. So rich or poor. Developed or undeveloped. Big or small. Corporate or individual. You’d [ READ MORE ]
I think I’ll have even greater problem sleeping at night after reading the article on the top 10 environmental disasters by TIME. You don’t have to pay special attention and tabulate how many of these are caused by the use of nuclear and fossil fuels – it is as clear as day that the mismanagement [ READ MORE ]
I emitted 0.5 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) over three months – my electricity bill says so. And just to put things in perspective, 6000 tones per $1 million revenue would qualify me as the heavy-emitting industry under the CPRS. Save the fact that I do pay for my emissions, and I don’t have any [ READ MORE ]
The nuclear summit in Washington ended this week. I watched on with interest and some sceptism of this NUCLEAR FREE WORLD our great benevolent hegemon endorses. President Obama underscored the danger of nuclear materials in the hands of terrorist groups: “Just the smallest amount of plutonium, about the size of an apple, could kill and [ READ MORE ]
Recently I’ve been doing something interesting – a research proposal. I’ve been very entertained with how a few brackets and words can alter the phrase completely. Research questions (your sanity) Research aims (nothing but to leave you depressed) Research hypothesis (assumes you are so darn knowledgeable) Key Conceptual Framework(s) (your brain to death) Literature review(s) [ READ MORE ]
This thesis writing thing is weird. Sometimes I don’t know if I’m writing a thesis or am pregnant with child. Dissertations students ask each other ‘How’s yours coming along’, ‘Is everything ok?’, ‘How are you holding up?’. These are not things you hear in a classroom but are conversations you hear in those prenatal preparation [ READ MORE ]
I reopened this blog early last August for a reason: to document my thesis writing year. Sure, this domain has categories which will cover all things I’m interested in, but it exists for my intellectual (or so I think) journey. However as time goes by, I realised that I’m not one who thrashes out my [ READ MORE ]
It’s dawn and my brains are even more active than ever. If ever anyone doubts the implications of an interconnected world and the age of globalisation, ask them to look at Agnes, a native of Southeast Asia, who is living in Melbourne but working on an American timezone. I just had a very random thought. [ READ MORE ]
Just when I thought the invisible hands of the market were maimed by the reformed Keynesian thinkers within the governments of around the world or as some people would believe, slitted its own wrists last September… Just when I lost all hope in them, am I glad to say that those invisible hands of the [ READ MORE ]
Mother is temperamental and very irritable at this point in time. I find that her ferocity is increasing steadily over the years, but can you blame her? Having tolerated our abuse for billions of years, it’s about time she showed us her breaking point. In recent years, it is evident that Mother Earth is expressing [ READ MORE ]
