@MICCAI_Society @MiccaiStudents @WomenInMICCAI @RMiccai "Moving [the conference] to Hawaii, by contrast, would increase emissions by 42%, because almost everyone would need to fly more than 4,000 km to attend." (https://t.co/LCnTLWLlkp) + see https://t.co/
@sgascoin @EliotJager @ICCInet (Just checked math on this) Greenland gets about 40,000 visitors per year total- mainly from Denmark and Europe. AGU gets about 25,000 and CO2 emissions are dominated by long-haul flights. It would be much easier to make CO2

A useful case study in reducing conference travel. I can't wait to get back to in-person conferences, but biennial or regional hubs would still be just as exciting for me, and look at the savings! https://t.co/saUpIpAoIt https://t.co/xfJvCgYu0E

I admit that virtual conferences don't have the same excitement of in-person conferences, but they undeniably reduce carbon emissions. This paper reports that each in-person conference attendee may be responsible for more than 3 tons of carbon output. http

@StefanPauliuk you have addressed this several times :)
Time academia stopped using international travel as a marker of esteem, especially for promotions. On-line key lectures.
academics are prone to what @KevinClimate terms "mitigation denial" which is funny in that academics are all about "listen to the science" yet when the science says "stop flying" many choose to ignore it... https://t.co/cPeIeiHbk0

This year's virtual #AGU2020 should be seen as a test for more inclusive and environmentally-conscious conferences. It might not be perfect this time, but let's stay open-minded, keep improving, and not let our GHG emissions ramp up after COVID-19! https:
As the virtual #AGU2020 conference is going on right now, it’s worth pondering that the 28,000 delegates who would usually fly to California are saving ~180 million air miles (almost 2x the distance between Earth and the Sun) and about 80,000 tonnes of CO2
