Saying goodbye to my beloved Lulu who was an assistant editor for the past four and half year.

The bulk of the past 99 posts were given to the discussion surrounding the UN Paris climate summit (COP21) with 39 posts about climate change and policy response to it.   Cuba (9 posts) and energy/fossil fuels (8 posts) followed as second and third most numerous. Other frequent topics were evolution and science posts.
