The Weblog
This page contains news, event information, and other items added by Ian and Adam, the resident farmers at Old 99. We send out a message every week, but most are set with a delete date about two weeks later. I archive some of the posts if they have content other than weekly availability of produce and meat.
You can send me questions too, which if they are of a general nature, I can post to this Old99 blog.
Post-Doom, No Gloom big picture on Climate Crisis
It’s really not a climate crisis, it’s an overshoot and bottleneck predicament facing the human race.
If you’re looking for some perspective on this, (60% of American youth are distressed by it) look no further.

All are welcome to join!

Summary:
No one needs convincing that we are living in an age of chaos and breakdowns. Even those without an ecological understanding of history feel the stress. How do we cope? How can we escape the seesaw of hope and fear? And, crucially, how can we be of support to others who are confused, angry, depressed, or filled with fear, blame, or guilt?
*Dowd is an American progressive Christian minister, author, and eco-theologian known as an advocate of Big History, religious naturalism, sustainability, climate activism, and the epic of evolution.[wikipedia]
I know him personally and applaud his attempt to get people of any faith/nonfaith tradition to wake up to our global predicament.
