The Climate Emergency Forum had the pleasure of hosting Sir David King last month to discuss his remarkable life. The program dropped today and can be found at the above link. 

It was one of the most enjoyable conversations I’ve had the privilege of hosting and I encourage everyone to watch. 

Sir David spoke about his experience behind the scenes as an advisor to several British Ministers, his perspectives on what countries are doing on climate, and his formative experiences growing up in South Africa, including being interrogated as a result of working with Nelson Mandela and having polio as a child. 

This is the second in our series of extended conversations with the giants in Climate, following our inaugural conversation several months ago with HPAC member Peter Wadhams. 

If you have suggestions for folks that you would like to see featured in our upcoming programs please let me know. 

Thanks,

Herb
