If we continue doing business as usual we will reach a climate breakdown in ways we can’t even foresee. After reading the IPCC SR 1.5 it became impossible for me to continue coping with my cognitive dissonance regarding climate change. I had to act. I wanted the world to change. Sound the alarm, drive the change.

It’s not easy, and you quickly become a modern day Cassandra. The best way to deal with this is to be the change. Scientists do have the responsibility to lead by example and walk the talk. Every little action counts. Committing to fly less is one of the most impactful changes individuals can make on their carbon footprint and it’s thrilling to be a part of it.
