What's politics?

Climate change isn't a single issue - it pulls in all sorts of politics, campaigns and causes. Below are some texts which some people in the Climate Camp network have found useful at one time or another, and think might be useful for reading for anyone who has the time.

Dealing with Distractions A zine put together by the Danish crew in the run up to the Copenhagen protests, dealing with Eco-Facism, Green capitalism, and includes an extract from the Coming Insurrection by the Invisible Committe

Forget Shorter Showers by Derrick Jensen

Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology by David Graeber

Tyranny of Structurelessness by Jo Freeman (a constructive critique of consensus decision making)
