The upcoming World Congress of the Fourth (Trotskyist) International is considering major documents on climate change. The FI considers the question of ecology and climate change as a crucial to the continued existence of life on earth. I would ask folks to look at the comments from Michael Lowy (2nd link) which offer a Marxist approach to building a new society based on justice and sustainability. Lowy is co-author of an Eco-socialsit Manifesto http://greenfrombelow.wordpress.com/...ist-manifesto/ Climate change and our tasks (main doc) http://www.internationalviewpoint.or...hp?article1755 Contribution to the debate (Lowy) http://www.internationalviewpoint.or...hp?article1737
