My legal battle to regain my job
@kielinstitute starts tomorrow. Inevitably, it involves a night train. In Papua I learned that there isn't a conflict that doesn't have a resolution.
I'm confident I can win back my post. And so are 9,000+people👉 https://innn.it/klimaforscher-entlassen 🙏
Most importantly, I'd like to enshrine into law that an employee can't be fired for their conscientious objection to flying. #ClimateCrisis #RefuseToFly #ClimateAction #GlobalWarming #GlobalWarmingInThePipeline

This is mind-blowingly bad. Most up-to-date study on Atlantic Ocean currents system shows signals of collapse. This could happen in 2025-2095 with 95% probability. Land to grow wheat may drop by half. Winter temperatures in Northern Europe could drop between 10 and 30 °C. "Once we have a definite warning signal it will be too late to do anything about it, given the inertia in the system",says

Very pleased with @ Nature Carriers publishing my story of being fired for not willing to fly back to my research institute home - when there was no need to. I do hope that my experience will give employees the right to #RefuseToFly on conscientious objection grounds. 🙏

After nearly 7 months of fieldwork in Bougainville (Papua New Guinea), I'm ready to embark on leg 1 of my #NoFly journey to Germany. Travelling by🚢,🚅,&🚌over 27,000km, I'll emit ~535kg of CO2, 10 times less than✈️. This decision cost me my job, but I still think it was the right thing to do. 1/🧵
