Dear colleagues, Glad to see that more people are waking up to what is needed to mitigate and adapt to climate chaos. Below is the blog post I wrote about this in May 2014, and which appeared in my 2017 book A Compassionate Civilization: https://compassionatecivilization.blogspot.com/2014/05/preparing-for-impacts...

Q.N. <catalina.iace@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Dialogue] Dialogue Digest, Vol 115, Issue 3 Dear All, Debra is right on the point of many people will die in this process as we try and be in personal (local Community) situations. Specifically there is no mention in this Podcast nor its connection with The Climate change that is happening. One is feeding the other. My takeaway is that each of us has two connections that need to happen. One is at the local level. Each of us, (awakened selves) need to see what we can do in our own locale to mitigate the affect of Climate by supporting local gardens, Green Space designs and Connecting with others who are doing so. It is happening here in Mexico and you can see a difference in the fact that you can buy from these sources. That is happening but must become more prevalent. The second is on the Macro level in regards to the whole Earth. People in this Dialogue are from all around the Earth and therefore the Awakening of people is also the occasion to connect Those Who Care with like minded people everywhere. My one example is an organization called WOTR, Water Organization Trust in Maharastra India that has many Local Communities who have transformed their local Watersheds into Businesses and each community’s gift to the whole World. I hope this makes sense. Those commenting on this beautiful Podcast that Karen Newkirk does have pointed out.

I’m not sure how Elgin’s (and many other) solemn predictions on climate change fit into the below paradigm… 1. Most things improve 2. Most people are in the middle 3. Countries need social development 4. The things we fear are unlikely to kill us #3 is absolutely correct. Yet concerning #1 & # 3: I fear the rapid progression of climate change and worry it will potentially kill much of humanity if we don’t make significant changes/mitigation/radical decisions & actions. In other words, change is happening, there is deep desire to improve our situation and yet it will take system wide global radical actions- and even those actions may be too late… On what helps makes a difference, you wrote: * Knowledge * Enthusiasm for possible human futures * Ethical values creative tensions to deal with modern reality - respectful reality with the biosphere and each other Sincerely, Debra Harris Houston Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foverview.mail.yahoo.com%2F%3F.src%3DiOS&data=04%7C01%7C%7C6b06f6f185f449fea36a08d98c12a1b6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637694834130643467%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=7cBcx3Te2Cv3CY9tbURGA4IpWUZ%2BACrTBiLL3EA%2FPzM%3D&reserved=0> On Saturday, October 9, 2021, 8:38 PM, Lawrence Philbrook via Dialogue <dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net<mailto:dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net>> wrote: Thanks Jim and thanks Karen I found Karens Podcast very good.
