The world can rest easy; a policy debate has been resolved. Leonardo DiCaprio says climate change is real. I was waiting to see what Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Affleck have to say, but I guess Leonardo DiCaprio is good enough for me.

Seriously, why should anyone care what an actor or any other celebrity has to say about scientific issues? DiCaprio's position on climate change–yes or no–should have no effect on anyone's beliefs.

But, if you think opinions like this really do matter, here are some new law review articles that might change your views on business law issues:

Ryan Gosling, Director Primacy is Wrong: A Reply to Professor Bainbridge

Jennifer Lawrence, Rethinking General Solicitation in Private Placements

Hugh Jackman, Director Liability in Hostile Takeovers

And, finally, one you should really pay careful attention to:

Steve Bradford, Why String Theory is Wrong.
