Having realized the seriousness and urgency of the climate challenge, I find that flying now causes me cognitive dissonance verging almost into nausea and physical illness. I do still fly; but a lot less than I used to. And not at all in my academic work.
I’m an academi engineer, currently working on deep decarbonisation of energy systems, with a particular focus on potential for CO2 removal and achieving nett negative CO2 emissions.
