Today, climate change is the central, though by no means the only, concern in environmental law. Awareness of the issue began slowly, however. Westlaw searches for “global warming” and “greenhouse effect” pick up only a handful of citations before 1985. The earliest mentions of these terms in the law review literature came in the late 1970s, and only one of the pre-1985 discussions took a comprehensive look at the problem.

For the past half a century, Japan has led the world in neutrino science. In the 1980s the Japanese physicist Masatoshi Koshiba masterminded the construction of a huge neutrino detector located 1000 m underground in a lead and zinc mine in Japan in Hida, Gifu Prefecture. Called Kamiokande, it was an enormous water tank surrounded by photomultiplier tubes to detect the flashes of light produced when neutrinos interacted with atomic nuclei in water molecules.

There are a few ways a species can be removed from the endangered species list. Scientists can discover different information that changes their assessment of the species. Or, policies enacted to protect the species could work, and population numbers rise to the point the species is no longer considered endangered. That is the best-case scenario. A species can also be removed because they are extinct in the wild.
