"Here Are The Top 15 Environmental Stories of 2015"

"From climate accords to mining disasters and increased Indonesian haze to decreased Amazon deforestation, here is the year that was."

"As 2015 comes to a close, Mongabay is looking back at the year that was.

This year saw President Obama reject the Keystone pipeline as historic droughts and a vicious wildfire season wracked the western US and Canada.

The world committed to climate action in Paris as Southeast Asia was choking on the worst Indonesian haze in years, Shell aborted its plans to drill in the Arctic for the “foreseeable” future, and ExxonMobil is being investigated for lying to the public about climate risks."

Mike Gaworecki writes for Mongabay December 30, 2015.
