Back from a trip to Dublin with Rail and Sail tickets. The train and ferry journey added to our feeling of adventure and were enjoyed by all including the small person. @seatsixtyone

Dear experts, I've been invited to give a keynote presentation at an international meeting this summer in Porto 🇵🇹 .
I'm still not sure if I'm going or not, but in any case, I don't want to fly. Any suggestion for a route by train from Marseille ?

What about the direct train from Marseille to Madrid that should start in a few months. Any news ?

After an intensive but very fruitfull meeting in Prague, it’s time to take the back to Marseille. The first one has an awesome name and is travelling to Munich. Tomorrow morning, I will take another train to Paris and finally to Marseille.

Any resemblance to a private company launching rockets and polluting the night sky is purely coincidental - hopefully!

Today I’m traveling by to Munich and then tomorrow to Prague for a PLATO @esascience meeting (first face-to-face meeting since 2019).

I could have taken the direct flight, but this would have emitted 10x more CO2eq and in the context of and , we should as much as possible (🚅 instead of ✈️).

I have a meeting next week in Prague and I planned to go by for reasons. The route was quite straightforward: Marseille -> Paris -> Munich (overnight stay) -> Prague.

However, my train Paris -> Munich has been cancelled because of the in ... Germany !

Dear train experts, I've been invited to go to India next year. Is there any low-carbon route to reach Ahmedabad from France ?

Third for today, from station 🧙to .

Honestly, I am very jealous of the train service. We arrived at the train station and jump on the next train, regardless of our initial plan. Our train tickets are for any route, any time. The return ticket is any day within 30 days from now. This is so flexible !

Dans quel monde vivons-nous ?

Pour changer le monde, suffit-il de changer les mots ?

Pour éviter la catastrophe climatique, suffit-il d'adopter une taxonomie verte pour l'aviation ?

A part nous prendre pour des pigeons, cette pensée magique puérile révèle seulement le cynisme des acteurs privés et publics

Le futur sera désobéissant ou ne sera pas

Dear , , folks. I have to go to Prague from Marseille, arriving on March 27 morning.

What route would you take ?

I tried to book the train from the website, but I can't. Possible connexion I found was either via Zurich, Basel, Frankfurt, Mannhein or even Paris+Wien.

!

PS: I will block anyone suggesting to take a plane !

I’m struck by how many people that I follow and that regularly toot about climate and environment are now tooting about difficulties related to air travelling. A slight cognitive dissonance.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, everywhere from the Allatoona hydroelectric dam on the Etowah river. Good day to ground oneself.

@ScientistRebellion 💚 Thank you for this 💚
Your actions give me hope. I have started to as much as I can but it feels so unfair when you know that efforts from only one of the richest person would have a significant bigger effect than only your own.

Without air planes, this blue sky over today would be essentially blue. Air planes not only burn kerosene and hence emit CO2, they also emit particles leading to the formation of contrails that are visible on this picture. Non-CO2 effects are estimated to increase the climate impact of air planes by a factor of 2 to 3. The same is true for e-fuels, bio fuels or hydrogen.
