Welcome to 2016.  Climate hawks march into the New Year with recent successes and real opportunities. In order to help you keep track of events, we discuss the trends, topics and issues to follow this year. Happy New Year to all!

The reading list:

• Advice to "savor the moment" of success
• Public Trust Doctrine hearing in January
• TPP vote in May
  John Kerry on the year ahead
• Exxon-gate
• Some background on climate in the 2016 election

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
