This page is quite out of date.  Also, it doesn't include any of our own work.  The truth is that we haven't updated it for years, and that we considered replacing it with an "under contruction" page while we do so.  Instead, we've  deleted all the really crufty stuff.  So the items below are, we believe, still useful.  Check back in a month or so.  

Meanwhile, consider that what this page really ought to be is a global climate justice curriculum.  We could do one if we only had the time.  Or the money.
