Interview: ’This is one of the most important books I’ve seen for some time’: Simon Kerr praises ’Living Hot’

Simon Kerr (pictured) is the musical driving force of "Music for a Warming World" and has had a long history in the challenges of climate change.

The Melbourne-based musician/academic was reading the most recent book, "Living Hot: Surviving and Thriving on a Heating Planet", co-authored by Australian public intellectual Clive Hamilton and energy consultant, George Wilkenfeld.

Simon was so impressed with what Halimton and Wilkenfeld had written that he contacted "Climate Conversations" saying: "We have to talk".

Both Simon and his partner, Christine, use electric bikes to travel about the City of Melbourne.

He was particularly excited to hear the "Climate Conversations" episode in which the CEO of the Melbourne-based Bicycle Network, Alison McCormack was interviewed: "Interview: 'Australia's E-Bike moment' with Bicycle Network's CEO, Alison McCormack".

Hamilton has been the Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra since 2008.
