Thankfully we know lots of academics that do avoid air travel. @steviedubyu @StuartBCapstick @izzdebizz to name but three.
Academic culture needs to change. Offering rail travel instead of air is good – but needs to be implemented/promoted/taken up.

Belfast's new Grand Central Station is open!
Initially for buses, trains from late September.
Enterprise trains from Dublin will arrive in the heart of Belfast with easy interchange to buses & local trains. No more remote Lanyon Place & having to change to reach Gt Victoria St.

Consultation open on carbon labelling for airline tickets. Have your say here: consultations.caa.co.uk/poli…
Our response: yes, carbon information should be given at time of booking, but should be compared to other transport modes (not just other flights) to give the full picture.

Oh to see the headline “Western Melbourne has long been Labor ground. But is anger over being taken for granted, aircraft noise & a 3rd runway making voters think twice?” @antissa @adambandt @danielmulinomp @billshortenmp

"Many people tell me I’m crazy,& that I’m not going to change anything. To me it’s crazy to go on like a herd of sheep,walking toward the cliff without sounding the alarm.”🙏 #perspectiveliving for telling the story of my 50.000km lower-carbon journey. perspectiveliving.online/en/…

Modern upstairs sleeper Roveinami Helsinki. Actually the Turkish sleeper compartments I’ve been in are larger & more comfortable when sitting up.I found the fixed ladder difficult. The basin swings to cover the loo & reveal the (decent) shower: so loo first then wash as it’s wet!

Reposting from 2y ago in coastal Maine.
The recipe for energy transition: electrify, green the electric grid, and reduce demand in difficult-to-electrify sectors.
And the recipe for good living: seek recreation that is low-carbon and high-joy.

There is no time to delay designing policies to deal with non-CO2 ✈️
But while there is general consensus that more research is needed on non-CO2 from aircraft, the EU’s attempts to get airlines to provide the full picture is hampered by delay tactics.

A Dutch court ruled that KLM adverts mislead the public about how sustainable flying is. Now 17 airlines have received legal warnings not to make claims on SAF and offsetting.
If you see airline adverts using these terms, write to the ASA.

As a climate scientist, I find important to live a life that is as coherent as possible with my messaging. I don’t travel by plane for holidays, and use public transport in Europe unless really impractical. Today was the first leg of my trip from Brussels to the IPCC meeting in Sofia (Bulgaria), through Vienna. #ClimateEmergency #SlowTravel #NoFlying #LowCO2 #coherence @IPCC_CH
