Climate Change is indeed a reality, however Bob Doppelt shares with us some of the ways we can help to change attitudes to help our Planet
This interview started out as a normal one-off talk with social scientist Bob Doppelt. However, by about the 3rd segment of the show it became evident to me that we’d never cover everything that I wanted to cover with this wonderful man.

With regard to Climate Change, we keep hearing people say “we must do something now before it’s too late”. But “too late”, for what? Sadly, it’s about 20 or 30 years too late already.
