Last night, I was reading material for a classmate's (international student) presentation of the research paper.
The paper is described the conclusion that 'no matter what technological innovations may come in the future, zero emissions will not be possible'.
Especially the "transportation field" is said to be in desperate need of help.
I can summarize the argument of this paper in my own way.
"Don't move unnecessarily"
Today's lecture, when I gave him a question of
"The conclustion of the paper's author is "Don't move, Stay home, Do your remote system", Is that Right?"
He had a annoyed look on his face -- I felt sorry for him.

That said, I very much agree with 'don't move unnecessarily'.
Traveling should be as much as a walk in the park, and all work that can be done remotely should be done remotely.
The remote may be half as efficient as F2F (I agree), then just double the F2F time.
Considering the time it takes to travel, it should pay off perfectly.

Having said that, I am also well aware that 'it is work that does not go according to logic.
First, let's start by stopping "moving around unnecessarily" with other "remote" people who can "hold" each other's hands.
