Happy ecosocialist New Year, Paul!
I’m writing to ask a favour … your site includes a link to Climate and Capitalism, but the link goes to the old URL.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could change it to
http://www.climateandcapitalism.com
Thank you ….

Ian, thanks for the tip. I’ve actually been away on vacation, so please forvive the lateness of my reply. I’ve switched it over to your new domain name so everything should be up to date over here.
Cheers.
