Deep Adaptation: Is It The End of The World as We Know It?
The shit may have already hit the fan.
A couple of months ago I joined a group Facebook for people who believe in Positive Deep Adaptation.
That is, people who believe that societal collapse as the result of climate change has started and is irreversible.
In other words, the shit has hit the fan and there is no going back. It’s not something that can be reversed with a different POTUS or electric cars or wind turbines or recycling or any amount of money.
Or anything else. Literally, anything else.
It seemed like a good idea at the time that I joined it.
A friend — a mentor — had posted on Facebook several times about her efforts to start a local sustainability meet up and then she dropped the name of the group.
I’m not sure what I expected. Some ideas for canning homegrown tomatoes, maybe. Thoughts on collecting rainwater or raising goats.
I have a long history of being interested in topics like peak oil and sustainability and urban homesteading.
My husband and I just moved our family, including his parents who both have Alzheimer’s, from Nevada to Pennsylvania in large part…
