Tonight! 🙌🏼 Our Resilient Communities Speaker Series kicks off at 7:00 PM at the library.
Lincoln resident and journalist Jon Mingle will share stories and lessons from two decades of reporting on climate change from the Himalaya to Vermont. His talk will focus on tales of floods — humanity's oldest story genre — and their power to both fragment and strengthen communities.
Mingle is an independent journalist focused on climate change, energy and resource issues. His reporting and writing has been featured in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, Yale Environment 360, Seven Days, Slate, MIT Technology Review and many other outlets. A past recipient of the Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship and the Middlebury Fellowship in Environmental Journalism, he's the author of two nonfiction books on energy, climate and community: Fire and Ice: Soot, Solidarity, and Survival on the Roof of the World (2015) and Gaslight: The Atlantic Coast Pipeline and the Fight for America's Energy Future (2024).
