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

The Chair of the "Climate Resilience" report from the Legislative Council Environment and Planning Committee, Ryan Batchelor (pictured), said: "The impact of a changing climate on Victoria’s built environment is clear. Hotter summers leading to longer bushfire seasons, more intense rainfall events create new flooding patterns, coastal erosion continues apace, and we are experiencing more frequent high-intensity wind and storms."
