Climate scientists face a challenge - their quest is to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, but in undertaking that quest need to collaborate with colleagues globally, which often requires international travel. As such, they tend to have carbon footprints that are significantly higher than those in societies they are cajoling to reduce their carbon emissions. Bodeker Scientific has therefore made a pledge to ensure that all company related travel is carbon neutral. We do this by purchasing carbon credits through the UBoC Trees of Hope project.
