<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The action required to stem the environmental and social implications of climate change depends crucially on how humankind shapes technology, economy, lifestyle and policy. With transport CO<sub>2</sub> emissions accounting for about a quarter of the total, we examine the contribution of CO<sub>2</sub> output by scientific travel. Thankfully for the reputation of the scientific community, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions associated with the trips required to present a paper at a scientific conference account for just 0.003% of the yearly total. However, with CO<sub>2</sub> emissions for a single conference trip amounting to 7% of an average individual’s total CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, scientists should lead by example by demonstrating leadership in addressing the issue.</p>
<p>The replication package contains the software code and data for populating the associated database and performing the analysis.</p>
