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.

What Biden doesn’t have the bridges finished across the oceans for the electric trains yet?.
At least she’s not being a hypocrite even though she’s still crazy.
This is what they want for us all.
They do indeed but perhaps less than buses but really I reject the whole leftist model in the first place.
Using ferries, coaches, trains and cargo ships will use far more fuel let alone what he considers a pollutant known as carbon dioxide then a single airplane.
A cargo ship uses bunker fuel and will be blowing thick black smoke along it’s trip.
