#realconversations #environment #climatedivide #adaptation#authorCONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIESHosted by Calvin SchwartzMeet ROBERT (BOB) COLLIN; “I’ve been roaming around theenvironment and climate change since I attended the first Earth Day on April22, 1970. That changed the course of my life. Six months ago, I met Bob. It wasthe universe. Here are the precious words I wrote after our first interview.They still resonate. Connectivity. Commonality. Purpose. Journey. Resilience.Even basketball. Many key elements exist. Climate. Environment. Adaptation.Flourishing. Yes, basketball too. Bob has several degrees. BS, Law, Master's.He teaches, has been appointed to advisory commissions, and has publishedencyclopedias and law reviews. Endless accomplishments via dedication. Thematrix of our interview with Robert, author of ‘The Climate AdaptationGeneration, A Blueprint for the Future’, was awarded the best climate changebook in the US for 2025. The essence of that interview. Bob illuminates andinspires. NOW Bob just releasedhis new book, ‘Who Gets to Adapt? Environmental Elites, Blue CollarCommunities, and the Growing Climate Divide.” It’s on my Kindle and reading it.It’s hard for me to be brief. Bob’s book is wondrously brilliant and sonecessary in our world today. I called his book ‘biblical,’ A bible ofadaptation. I’ll repeat myself. Hugely necessary. I know a little bit aboutadaptation and climate divide. It’s funny how we quietly drifted from keepingEarth's temperature rising by more than 1.8 degrees to sustainability andadaptation. I marvel at Bob’s book. How thorough and complete. He’s a delightto listen to. His energy, caring, and passion is effusive. He’s a gift. I usethat term sparingly.” Calvin🎙️ 800+ Interviews &Videos📺 9,500+ Subscribers —and growing👉 Please Subscribe:https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEsGLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.
