[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] A New Climate Vision

[James Wiegel]

Yes, Karen, thanks for sending, and for caring for us. the video is remindful of a proposal from 1971 to the Rockefeller Foundation:  
“The Ecumenical Institute of Chicago designed a three year grassroots social research project aimed at the problem of providing the “local man” with a practical comprehensive vision of the new social dynamics emerging in our day which will enable him to understand the trends of the time, motivate him to engage himself in shaping those trends and to provide him with some basic tools to effect that engagement.”  (from a proposal to the Rockefeller Foundation)
“…I am glad you gave that nine thousand dollars”
Jim Wiegel  

 
 
Theunknown is what is.  And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat.  Unknown is what is.  Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.    John Lennon

  Thanks for sending this, Karen.  With all the troubling news about climate change and what we can do about it, it is good to be reminded that both with the top down approach (recent progress at the COP28 UN Climate Summit in Dubai) and the bottom up approach (grassroots organizations at the local, regional, and state levels around the world working tirelessly to address global warming), progress is being made!  Will we do it in time?  The jury is still out!
Keep up the good work!Carleton StockSt. Louis, MO, USA

 If you’re feeling overwhelmed by our increasingly warming planet, you’re not alone. But there is good news: climate solutions are on the rise… and they’re really working.
TED takes an hour to highlight manyTED  talks that have shown how progress is being made.  Although it appears that negative impacts are accelerating, it is harder to see how much positive impacts are simultaneously happening.  After you watch the video, it would be interesting to hear your feedback.
