Most Important: Incomprehensibly large pieces of Indonesia burned this year. Years of greed, negligence, slash-and-burn agriculture, and worldwide demand for palm oil transformed much of Indonesia’s landscape into what one activist called “a carbon bomb” and this fall the bomb went off. The smoke from nearly 50,000 fires sickened hundreds of thousands, and we lost irreplaceable chunks of some of the most bio-diverse forests in the world.
Least Important: Larry Bird weighed in on DeflateGate.
