What is happening in the climate is a mirror of what is happening with us and within our culture. Using the insights of Chinese medicine, we’ll discuss the bigger and deeper causes of the our warming planet. We’ll also use an eastern perspective to see the patterns in the enormous amounts of climate data. Brendan will be presents the ideas and research from this new book The Yin and Yang of Climate Crisis, which blends the external focus of environmentalism (e.g., western science, policy issues, regulations) with the internal focus of Chinese medicine (e.g., personal health, balancing Qi, diet). Climate change and its literal realities—melting ice caps, dying forests, floods like those recently in Vermont—can be understood as a symptom of deeper issues, both within us as individuals and within our country and culture.
