Our comment in Nature Food was picked up by the Guardian. Food and Agriculture Organization's 1.5 °C roadmap lacks methods/data & omits findings that plant-rich diets in richer countries are needed to reach climate targets. Their response to our critique is even more perplexing 🧵 theguardian.com/environment/20…
One good way for Food and Agriculture Organization to get back to transparency & balance is to publish their methods immediately, not months after a report. We should at least see their math behind omitting diet changes from their list of *120 other interventions* to stay under 1.5°C rdcu.be/dBBx7
Whistleblowers say they were blackballed after being critical of livestock impacts. I'd be ashamed if my colleagues with differing views felt that unwelcome. Food and Agriculture Organization should start an internal investigation, instead of smearing good-faith external critiques theguardian.com/environment/20…
The Food and Agriculture Organization omitted droves of evidence that plant-rich diet shifts can meaningfully reduce emissions & protect human health. Instead of a careful, methodical response to our comment led by Cleo Verkuijl, they've opted to to rant about 'vested interest narratives' desmog.com/2024/04/08/us-…
We feed chicken waste, including body parts and excreta, to cows. It's environmentally friendly (seriously)! But surely a disease risk, banned in UK after mad cow. I've written about sustainability/health tradeoffs before, but I never thought of THIS one telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
