I've traveled to the USA quite often and I even lived there for a while, but there's not a chance in hell I set foot there under the current circumstances -- no more than I'm likely to go to North Korea. I mean that quite literally.

@Eetschrijver same here!

An anecdote: my husband flew from Paris to NYC on Tuesday and his United flight was almost entirely empty. He had the entire row (of 10 seats) to himself! I spotted only two other passengers sitting in economy behind him on the pics he shared. It's wild.

It's not just tourism. Business travel by US gov and its contractors (including research universities) is way down too, as is international attendance at conferences in the US.

Who could have guessed that having #Trump as president might actually reduce carbon emissions 😂
