Interview: 'Unless we solve climate change, all these other issues are going to be unsolvable': Dr David Holmes, Climate Communications Australia
from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean
Dr David Holmes (pictured) is an upbeat, friendly and co-operative fellow who is the Managing Director and founder of "Climate Communications Australia".CCA, as it is known, can be found in the Melbourne building of the Royal Society of Victoria in the city's La Trobe Street.This episode had a less-than-positive start when a pre-arranged phone call to record the interview fell apart because of unusable audio.We arranged to meet in Melbourne and we quickly ran into trouble again when a busy Dr Holmes had forgotten the keys to his office and so we moved to a nearby coffee shop, which was a little noisy, but okay.More troubles - my inadequate knowledge of audio resulted in the gain in Dr Holmes' microphone being too low, and my microphone wasn't working at all.The resultant episode is a workaround, and while far from ideal, it still helps us better understand something about the important, and critical work of Climate Communications Australia
