Thanks for the tip of the hat to our effort on your fine blog.
Our climate literacy work (reviewed and endorsed by 13 federal agencies has also been expanded into a Climate Literacy Handbook on the Encyclopedia of Earth: http://www.eoearth.org/article/Climate_Literacy_Handbook
Very complementary, for sure, with the points made about the imperative of Environmental Literacy.
