When I heard Amy Seidl interviewed on NPR, I knew I wanted to read her positive take on the issue of climate change which is usually labeled "Global Warming". Although the term is correct, the fear and dispair that Global Warming has come to represent doesn't seem so insurmountable when it is called climate change, a description of a period that has been occured many times in the past. Seidl points out that even if we were to immediately cease our carbon emissions, we would still face climate change. With this realistic approach she assures us that we can adapt and persist and she gives us scientific research as well as examples of adaptive strategies that others are experimenting with and adopting. This means changing! Another scary word for some but one we can soften by accepting the fact that we are in the midst of climate change due to our carbon complicity. Resources that are renewable are available and as our conscience begins to motivate more of us to change our behaviors others will transition also. Seidl reminds us: "......mitigation moves at the speed of politics while adaptatin moves at te speed of events." "Cultural transitions take time because core values are deep-seated. The small but growing new culture seeks a profound shift in values. It seeks a path that breaks with consumption and leads to a prudent use of resources that meet our needs while preserving life on Earth." "There is no doubt that actions based in self-reliance and in ideas about sufficiency will not alone change the world. Certainly not during the lifetimes of the people living today. Yet they make measurable differences in our lives, in our identity , and in the values we develop in others. The world is tranitioning.....The Great Turning is our to enact." A most inspiring read and a motivator to do more.
