展开In 2016, a terrible El Ni event hit Kim Cbb’s study site, killing 85% f her cral. During her first dive afterward, “I was crying in my mask,” says Cbb. “It’s ne thing t read papers abut cral bleaching(珊瑚白化), but when it happens t a place where yu knw every dive like the back f yur hand, it’s smething different.”S, she started t d a strict accunting f her persnal carbn ftprint that she is respnsible fr emitting(排放), finding that air travel accunted fr 85% f her carbn ftprint in 2017. She prmised that 2018 wuld be different.
Cbb is ne f a small but grwing minrity f academics wh are cutting back n their air travel because f climate change. She started t ask cnference and institutinal representatives wh invited her t speak whether she culd d s remtely; abut three-quarters f the time, they agreed. When the answer was n, she declined the invitatin. That apprach brught Cbb’s 2018 air travel dwn by 75%, and she planned t cntinue the practice.Hwever, sme peple disagree with her apprach. Sme senir scientists tld her the “flying less mvement” is harmful because it distracts(转移) frm the message that glbal emissins
can nly be cntrlled thrugh cllective gvernment actin.Reducing air travel can als be a disprprtinate sacrifice fr junir scientists, wh benefit frm netwrking and sharing their wrk at cnferences. Cbb agrees. “If yu’re an early-career researcher and yu’re traveling very little, I think it’s hard t build awareness f yur wrk,” she says. “Yu have t be standing arund the cffee break t chat, and yu can’t d that if yu’re nt there.”It’s the senir scientists like herself wh shuld reduce air travel. That culd have the biggest effect n the prblem: A study
published nline last mnth calculated that, at the University f British Clumbia in Vancuver, full prfessrs are respnsible fr three times as many flight-related emissins as graduate students and pstdcs.
