From severe summer droughts to rainfall so intense it has washed away entire crops, Noami Brautigam, who farms at Dickey Hill Farm in Monroe, has heard about and experienced a lot of the effects of climate change. Among farmers she knows, high wind events have taken down farm infrastructure. There’s been heat so great that it caused poultry to die. And so many other stories. Climate change is always on Brautigam’s mind — and she’d like more people to talk about it. That’s why she’s glad to be part of a new Belfast Free Library project called “All of Belfast Climate Dialogues.” The project’s goal is to facilitate conversations about climate change impacts, and collect Belfast area residents’ observations and concerns about what they see and experience.
