This is the best summary I could come up with:
A climate researcher has been threatened with the sack by his employer after refusing to fly back to Germany at short notice after finishing fieldwork on Bougainville in the Solomon Islands archipelago.
On Friday, Dr Gianluca Grimalda, an environmental campaigner who refuses to fly on principle, was told by his employer, Germany’s Kiel Institute for World Economy, that if he was not at his desk on Monday he would no longer have a job to return to.
Instead this week he was still waiting in Buka Town, Bougainville, to embark on a cargo ship to begin his journey back to Europe, after six months studying the impact of climate change and globalisation on communities in Papua New Guinea.
While conducting his fieldwork among the Papuans, Grimalda gave dozens of talks on the science of climate breakdown, explaining to islanders how the carbon emissions of the industrialised world were causing the disasters they faced.
But he says he faced a number of unavoidable delays, including being held for ransom by machete-wielding bandits, thefts of his research items and difficulties getting communities to speak to him.
Fabian Dablander, postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam, said: “What Gianluca is doing is a deeply inspiring act of breaking with business as usual.

offtopic, but can anyone show me how to use this bot to summarize articles for my own needs ? thank you
Sorry for the late reply, you basically post an article on a supported site and it replies. If it doesn’t notice your post, you can summon it manually by calling it like this: @autotldr@lemmings.world
its okay @rikudou_sage. back in time i wasn’t aware that a site would require support first. the rest it is working just like clockwork :)
Arguably he should be flying, he is trying to do something about the problem.
Stacey taking a gap year to find herself should be the one hitching a ride on a cargo ship.
Man of honor!
If his alternative was boat, from what I’ve read, they aren’t really better…
Sounds more like he was hitching a ride on a cargo ship that was already going that direction.
