Climate researcher Dr. Gianluca Grimalda says that he risks losing his post at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Germany for refusing to use a plane as a means of transport back from Papua New Guinea.
Grimalda plans to return to Germany from his research trip without flying in order to reduce his carbon emissions by 90%, and instead intends to travel using ferries, coaches, trains and cargo ships.
However, he said the institute gave him three days notice to return by October 2 which would have forced him to fly, according to a statement issued by climate group Scientist Rebellion.
Grimalda told CNN that the Kiel Institute told him to “expect a second warning/request to show up in Kiel traveling by plane,” after he failed to return and that they “will then issue the letter of redundancy” when he fails to show up a second time.

Wouldn’t the plane leave the same carbon footprint whether or not he was on it? Of course, if he had just taken the plane, there would have been no stunt.
Is his name Foo Kim?
My speculation...
They have been telling him to come home for months and finally delivered a three day ultimatum.
The researcher's low-carbon travel drama is just to attract the attention of privately funded Climate Emergency labs where political propaganda is more important than research.
Water wings?
These liberals are THE MOST UGLY, HOMELY people in our society I believe this is WHY they are so full of hate!!!
Float home?
China left the Paris Climate Accords 3 months a go. China had made a lot of pledges to limit CO2 emissions by 2035

China Abandons Paris Agreement, Making U.S. Efforts Painful …
WebJuly 25, 2023 6:30 AM. The clear signals from China are a deliberate slap in America’s face. I t was a bad week for anyone who thought China would cooperate on emissions reduction.
Good for him for living up to his convictions. Any reduction by him though will be more than offset by the bureaucrats flying off to the next climate change summit.
Is that Gaetan Moliére or “Mole” from Atlantis the Lost Empire?
He’s doing this because his research is for sh!t and likely everything else he does for his employer is the same. Looks like the university finally got fed up with him. He probably doesn’t even have any ‘research’ from his trip.
He could close his eyes, click his heels 3 times and repeat, “there’s no place like home”
“””Grimalda says that he risks losing his post....in Germany for refusing to use a plane as a means of transport back”””
Think for a minute, some guy COULD lose his job in Germany because he doesn’t want to use a plane which is faster, to get back to work.
How did he turn something that isn’t even a story, into an international story? I guess we have to stay tuned to learn if he gets back to work on time.
Lol what a nutjob
Wow! That is one ugly mofo.
The “climate” nonsense grows bigger and bigger!!!!
My kind of “turd in the punchbowl thinker”.
If he were honest he would take a sailing ship follow the Trade Winds. Should be home in a few months.
“A person’s carbon footprint increases by ticket class - and rockets with private jet travel.”
Private Jets are the way to go if one is going.
Wheels blowing off the train...
Only one answer...swim.
