This is a scientist who was fired for believing and fighting for the cause. It is imperative that we also fight for him to regain his rights to employment

Talking of commitment this is a great commitment. If we all had such minds we will go a long way in saving our environment.

In the article, the author highlights his choice to refuse flying for environmental reasons, even if it led to the loss of his job as a climate researcher. He argues that while air traffic contributes a relatively small percentage of global CO2 emissions (2-3%), planes remain one of the most polluting means of transport. This underscores the dilemma of addressing climate change, where personal sacrifices and professional consequences may be necessary to combat the broader issue.
