Welcome to 2017! This feature was something I started last year in a different time with different scientific (i.e. interpretation) and political realities. I never suspected that there would be so much content but here we are. Perhaps not the most surprising but definitely the most relevant headline of last week:

This is a big deal but by no means was the only thing going on in climate news:
