A Postcard from Scotland Having a great time. Wish I was there…. Maria Fox
2
A Flight to Sydney from Scotland 17,000 kilometres, offering ~24 hours of me-time on-board aircraft and lots of hours to enjoy a favourite airport beverage And to burn ~900 kilos of aviation fuel, producing 4 tons of CO 2 …. …..per passenger Climatologists currently recommend stabilising at a maximum of 2 tons per person per year
3
The Future of Flight Available aviation fuel production has probably peaked Demand for aviation fuel is predicted to rise –Passenger flights at ~5% per annum –Freight flights at ~6% per annum –Military use – who knows?
4
Are Conferences Sustainable? How much longer will long haul flights fit our (academic) budget? Our climate-conscience?
5
What Might We Do? Plan now! Move towards virtual conferences Use on-line videos of talks, provide slides, set up Wikis for each paper to allow Q&A –Lots of beneficial side-effects, but logistically non-trivial Accept papers without requiring authors to attend to present them
