The most important news of 2009

For the first post of  the year ( and the decade ) I would like to wish you first and foremost a happy and sustainable year 2010. I hope this time we will get what we need : a global legal agreement on climate change and clean energy.

I also would like to start this year by looking at the one that just finished. It is the occasion to have a look at what I consider the twenty five best or most important articles I published here in 2009.
