CNN —Climate researcher Dr. Gianluca Grimalda says that he risks losing his post at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Germany for refusing to use a plane as a means of transport back from Papua New Guinea. However, he said the institute gave him three days notice to return by October 2 which would have forced him to fly, according to a statement issued by climate group Scientist Rebellion. The Kiel Institute told CNN that it “doesn’t comment on internal personnel matters in public. As an alternative, climate activists such as Greta Thunberg have modeled greener ways to travel such as by ship or train. “I am prepared to face all the legal and economic consequences of this decision,” Grimalda said in a statement.
