🙏 all people who contacted @kielinstitute & supported my case. Their decision ignores that in a digital era one can work from anywhere in the world and in the Anthropocene era every waste of CO2 is morally unjustifiable. Here's a press release👉

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Everyone and every capacity needs to make a stand. Thank you for leading the way. I hope each person now asks themselves what can I do in my work place to make a stand? This is everyone’s fight, millions of us need to stand up in unity demanding a stop to new oil and gas.

@PatelBhavini @kielinstitute @guardianeco Yes, this is precisely what I hoped to instill in others.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Wow I’m sorry Gianluca. How very backwards of them.

@schipper_lisa @kielinstitute @guardianeco They still live in pre-digital pre-Anthropocene era.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Welcher Mut soll es sein die tagelange Rückreise auf Kosten des Arbeitgebers, also des deutschen Steuerzahlers anzutreten? Warum haben Sie nicht Sonderurlaub beantragt und tragen die zusätzlichen Kosten selbst? Ganz abgesehen davon, ob diese lange Reise überhaupt CO2 spart.

@HofmeisterAusLU @kielinstitute @guardianeco Ich habe dem @kielinstitute vorgeschlagen, für den von ihr gewünschten Zeitraum unbezahlten Sonderurlaub zu nehmen. Sie lehnten dies ohne Begründung ab. Ein Teil der Hinreise hatte ebenfalls in unbezahltem Urlaub stattgefunden.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Whilst I admire someone who acts on their property principles I would also support your employers decision. Setting off a number of weeks late and then taking 6 weeks to get back is a major inconvenience for minimal benefit. I would have compromised here if my work mattered to me

@carlfhoward @kielinstitute @guardianeco I see their point and I committed to return as quickly as possible by low-carbon travel. I offered to take unpaid leave for the duration of the journey and longer. But no,they wanted me in Kiel even if there's absolutely nothing I must do in Kiel I can't do while travelling.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Immense love and gratitude, Gian! 🧡

@UltimaGenerazi1 @kielinstitute @guardianeco Grazie amicx💚!

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco A principled stance, Dr Grimalda.

@GGrimalda If academics are not able to act ethically and principled, then who can? You are a pioneer and example to us all, Gianluca.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Sorry to hear Gianluca, that sucks. I respect you a lot for standing by your principles.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Thank you for your coherence, values and determination to be better. Much love and support. Ask for what you need.

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Support you 100% in taking a stand for what you believe in. We need more and more people to do so in the days ahead.

@GGrimalda @rwclimate @kielinstitute @guardianeco Hero! 💚

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco Thank you for your straightforwardness! Obviously, the Institute does not deserve such a strong personality as you. Sure new doors will open for you! All the best for you and stay as you are. Thank you for your fight for the climate!

@GGrimalda @kielinstitute @guardianeco I value your integrity an moral clarity. And I am sure, a better dream job will come your way! Avanti!

@GGrimalda @ScientistsX @kielinstitute @guardianeco Is that the @Guardian that still carries puff pieces and advertising for exotic foreign holidays and cruises? #DumpTheGuardian
