Who’s Up For A Climate Cafe At A Brewery To Discuss Climate Doom?

In fairness, if they want to do this, go for it. I wonder how long this cult business will last when they do this silly stuff?

Climate Cafe creates space for climate change conversations

What does a positive climate future look like to you?

What are you going to do to achieve that future?

What are you not willing to give up?

These are the kind of questions people asked each other during the Climate Cafe this week at Theoretically Brewing in Lethbridge, Alta.

The setup is simple.

People come to the brewery and split into groups at different tables. There, they talk to each other steered by prompts provided by Environment Lethbridge, a sustainability and environment focused non-profit organization.

So, a bunch of climate cultists coming together to whine and say cult things. Did they all take a fossil fueled trip to the brewery? Do they understand that making beer requires lots of carbon dioxide?

Executive director Kathleen Sheppard says that while there are places for people to learn about climate change, the organization noticed a gap when it comes to talking about it, particularly regarding solutions.

“I feel like a lack of understanding of the problem isn’t necessarily the thing that’s stopping people from taking action, it’s that feeling that the problem is really big and really overwhelming.”

Right, right, because the climate crisis (scam) never gets discussed. I turn on the Weather Channel to get, you know, the weather, and it’s an early morning indoctrination piece on Hotcoldwetdry. So, I switched to the local News 14.

Globe-trotting architect takes aim at climate change

Sarah Broughton – who with partner John Rowland launched Rowland + Broughton 20 years ago in Aspen – is on a four-month whirlwind across the nation and world to showcase Colorado’s architectural solutions to climate change and use of sustainability in design.

She’s also the president of the American Institute of Architects’ Colorado Chapter, which has 2,500 members, and recently returned from a conference in Washington, D.C. Soon, she’ll be off to Italy.

“It was an incredible experience. We were lobbying on the hill and really talking about what it means to be a citizen architect,” she said.

The gathering of colleagues from across the nation energized her.

Building buildings isn’t all that climate friendly, eh, especially the massive hotel she’s involved in. Nor is traveling all around the world, nor having a massive gathering of colleagues from across the nation. You know they’re all coming in fossil fueled vehicles and airplanes. Would you listen to a fat guy telling you how to reduce your weight? A person with no muscle telling you how to work out?

    Well, gosh, you forgot to tell us where this Climate Cafe was, so I can’t go in.

      In Alberta, Canada. Next time I’m there I’ll tell them you didn’t say hi!

      • Dana says:

        Well, at least it’s close to the United States!

        But Canucks ought to like global warming climate change, to maybe warm the place up a bit.

    Actually, brewing beer produces carbon dioxide. The yeast ‘consumes’ carbohydrate and expels alcohol and CO2 as ‘byproducts’. Some of the CO2 is captured in the CARBONATION process. Industrial breweries actually use a carbonation process to ‘re-inject’ CO2 while small, craft breweries often use a more ‘natural carbonation’ process.
