可持续行星科学之路
Pathways to Sustainable Planetary Science
摘要：
气候变化是对人类未来的一个迫在眉睫的重大威胁。根据国际气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）的数据，我们的排放量估计造成了比工业化前水平高出0.8摄氏度至1.2摄氏度的人为全球变暖。如果AGW继续以目前的速度增长，它可能在2030年至2052年之间达到1.5摄氏度。由于气候变化是由二氧化碳和其他温室气体（GHG）释放到大气层中驱动的，因此，人们普遍认为，缓解气候变化需要向低GHG排放能源、技术和做法过渡。从个人到社区范围系统地实施这种变革，以及由此产生的文化变革和对环境意识和责任的领导，对于减轻AGW迫在眉睫的损害至关重要。鉴于行星科学家对气候变化现实的广泛认识，以及我们通过以身作则来保持信誉的必要性，使自己的职业行为对环境更加负责是适当的。虽然科学家人数很少，行星科学家更是少得多，但大量的学术旅行，参加会议，小组讨论，座谈会和研究合作访问，加上大量使用大型，能源需求高的基础设施，使科学家的“碳足迹”远远高于普通公民。本白皮书重点介绍如何修改我们的活动，特别是与学术旅行相关的活动，可以影响行星科学界的碳足迹，并就社区和资助机构如何最好地参与减轻AGW将造成的损害所需的文化变革提出建议。
英文摘要：
Climate change is a major impending threat to the future of humanity. According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), our emissions are estimated to have caused 0.8 deg C-1.2 deg C of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) above pre-industrial levels. AGW is likely to reach 1.5 degrees C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate. As the climate change is driven by the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere, there is a broad consensus that the mitigation of climate change requires transition to low GHG emission energy sources, technologies and practices. Implementing such changes systematically from individual to community-wide scales together with the resulting cultural changes and leadership towards environmental consciousness and responsibility are crucial to mitigate the looming damage of AGW. Given planetary scientists' wide recognition of the realities of climate change, and the need for us to maintain credibility by leading by example, it is appropriate to make own professional behavior more environmentally responsible. While scientists are few in numbers, and planetary scientists far fewer, high volumes of academic travel to conferences, panels, colloquia, and research collaboration visits together with extensive use of large, energetically demanding infrastructures make the "carbon footprint" of scientists much higher than that of an average citizen. This White Paper focuses on how modifying our activities, particularly associated with academic travel, can affect the carbon footprint of the planetary science community, and it makes recommendations on how the community and the funding agencies could best participate in the cultural change required to mitigate the damage that AGW will cause.
