My heart sank when I saw the subject line in an email, ‘In memoriam, Richard Heinberg’. Richard also features in countless film and other productions, along with the online course developed with the Post Carbon Institute, where Richard was a Senior Fellow for decades. I immediately reached out to Richard, and was welcomed with the kindness that characterised him as much as his work. The day after meeting Richard, our hearts were warmed further when Janet went out of her way to offer us this:Hi, This is Janet, Richard’s wife. I just returned home and Richard has told me he enjoyed the interview and time with you and your family.
