Mik Aidt's (pictured) journey began in Denmark where he married an Australian girl, moved to Geelong in 2013 and fell, almost immediately, into the role of hosting his own radio show, The Sustainable Hour.

The one-hour radio show, which he now has co-hosts, is now broadcast via Zoom as the radio station has gone into lock-down because of the Coronavirus.

Mik, a believer in the power of community, has three children and attributes to them his passionate desire to do something about the quickly evolving climate crisis to make the world as safe as he can.

Talking with John Pettigrew aboout the Coronavirus and the climatre crisis

The Shepparton News has pointed to podcasts as a possible "thing" to help people navigate social distancing and social isolation during the present Coronavirus pandemic.

That is unquestionably true (I'm biased), but will we be using the valuable experiences from the pandemic to help us better understand what we can do both as individuals and a a community to find our way through the climate crisis.

The Coronavirus, or at least news about it, has claimed all the world's major news sources, pushing the climate crisis into the little read, or watched, margins.

However, the climate crisis is still front and centre for some and in France the government is actively seeking the advice of the people; asking it citizenry about how best the country could go about addressing the climate problem in what is seen by some a "grand democratic experiment". The idea was discussed on Australia's Radio National "Saturday Extra" program.

The Coronavirus has brought some alarming difficulties, chief among them the deaths of many people, and serious social dislocation and disruption and yet if looked at through the climate crisis prism alone it has been a good thing as it has cut the world's carbon emissions and if this trend continues it could lead to the first fall in carbon emissions since 2008.

The 2008 drop in emissions was brought on by the then global financial crisis and this health crisis is having an equally massive impact on the world's economy.

And the question about how do we seize this moment, how do sustain this drop in our carbon emissions came up at the recent meeting of the Victorian Climate Action Network (VCAN).

The Coronavirus is being combated through social distancing and that brings with it difficulties for climate activists who until now have found their strength in numbers, something that is going to quite difficult, if not impossible, under the social restrictions being forced upon people because of the pandemic.

It was the Coronavirus pandemic that forced VCAN into holding its latest meeting via Zoom and that being successful, it's likely all future meetings will be held using the same process.

Rarely do the realities of achieving the Paris climate agreements ever get mentioned or explained.

Should all those countries which signed up to the 2015 Paris undertakings honour those commitments, then the world is bound for global temperature increases in excess of three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Christiana Figueres, who played a key role in the Paris discussions, is presently touring Australia to promote her new book, "The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis", and stopped off to be a guest on the ABC television program, The Drum. 

Among the fellow guests was the CEO of the Menzies Institute, Tim James, a fellow with whom Christiana said she would "have to agree to disagree"
