  1. Conned, Carbon offsets stripped bare
    New Internationalist July 2006
    Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical)
    First Published: 2006
    Discussion of the myths about carbon offsets, and details of more positive climate change steps to take. Carbon offsetting is exposed as a scam, one that's been sold to the guilt-ridden general public as an easy answer to a complex problem.
  2. The Dead End of Climate Justice
    How NGO Bureaucrats and Greenwashed Corporations are Turning Nature Into Investment Capital
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2010
    The notion of climate debt, highlighted as the principle avenue of struggle for the climate justice movement, poses some large problems. Contemporary demands for reparations justified by the notion of climate debt open a dangerous door to increased green capitalist investment in the Global South. Everything from energy to agriculture, from cleaning products to electronics, and especially everything within the biosphere, is being incorporated into this regime of climate markets. One can only imagine the immense possibilities for speculation and financialization in these markets as the green bubble continues to grow.
  3. Polluted Logic

    First Published: 1998
    The business of allowing polluters to buy their way out of complying with the law is an innovation with vast untapped potential.
  4. Radical Digressions 2
    Resource Type: Website
    First Published: 1981   Published: 2000
  5. Uganda: Carbon Trading Scheme Pushing People off Their Land
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
