预计自从疫情开始后就一蹶不振的国际航班需求量还将出现更大程度的下降，商业航空公司大幅度地减少了航班日程安排。

碳足迹，英文为Carbon Footprint，是指企业机构、活动、产品或个人通过交通运输、食品生产和消费以及各类生产过程等引起的温室气体排放的集合。
In recent years, a growing number of climate-change researchers have made the conscious decision to reduce their
carbon footprints
by avoiding air travel or flying less. But an analysis suggests that, despite these efforts, climate researchers travel and fly more than those who work in other disciplines.
近年来，越来越多的气候变化研究人员有意识地决定通过避免空中旅行或减少坐飞机来降低碳足迹。但一项分析表明，尽管做出了这些努力，气候研究人员还是比其他学科的研究人员旅行和飞行的次数更多。
The study, published on 8 October in Global Environmental Change, surveyed more than 1,400 scientists across disciplines from 59 countries to
find out
how often they fly and why. The surveys were conducted in 2017, before the coronavirus pandemic caused widespread travel restrictions. Most
respondents
were from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Australia.
这项研究10月8日发表在《全球环境变化》上，调查了来自59个国家、1400多名跨学科的科学家，以了解他们乘坐飞机的频率和原因。这些调查是在2017年进行的，当时尚未出现新冠疫情导致大范围出行管制的情况。大多数受访者来自荷兰、英国和澳大利亚。
Air travel becomes more frequent with
job seniority
across all disciplines, with climate-change professors flying on average nine times per year, and those in non-climate disciplines flying eight times .
在所有学科中，随着工作资历的增长，乘飞机旅行的频率也越来越高，气候变化领域的教授平均每年坐9次飞机，而非气候学科的教授坐8次飞机。
Part of the survey’s findings can be explained by the amount of fieldwork that climate research demands, Whitmarsh says, often in remote locations.
But she and her colleagues accounted for this in their study, and still found that climate researchers travel by air more frequently.

但是她和她的同事在他们的研究中考虑到了这一点，但仍然发现气候研究人员乘飞机出行的频率更高。
International conferences might also have an influence, says Kim Cobb, a climate scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Meetings to coordinate global
mitigation
efforts — such as of the
Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change — involve hundreds of researchers from different countries.
亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院的气候学家金·科布说，国际会议也可能也会产生影响。协调全球减缓气候变化的会议，例如政府间气候变化专门委员会会议，就有来自不同国家的数百名研究人员参加。
