    Meet The Climate Scientist Trying to Fly Less for Work

    Listened

    In progress

Those flights were adding lots of climate-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Host Maddie Sofia talks with her about her push to get scientists to fly less for work, and what happened when the pandemic suddenly made that idea a reality.
