This is Gould plaza. This is New York University response to yesterday’s protests. I am old enough to remember when American intellectual and political leaders called for tearing down walls. Meanwhile, no word on next steps, town halls, or, you know, discourse. Just arrests and walls.
The Food and Agriculture Organization misused my research to publish findings with a pro-meat bias ⚠️
The organization has been outdoing itself to distort the impacts of dietary change on the environment 🧵 theguardian.com/environment/20…
When a ranking of badass academics of this time is made, Paul Behrens will somewhere near the top. Kudos to Matthew Hayek as well. This took ⚽️🏀. Well done.
Also, absolute shame on Food and Agriculture Organization for becoming a meat industry disinformation outlet. boooooo.

.Paul Behrens and Matthew Hayek argue FAO “seriously distorted” their work in a flagship UN report, underestimating the climate potential of shifts to more plant-based diets.
Reducing meat consumption is key to combat climate change.

Companies are chasing public 💸 not climate solutions. Given the ridiculous way 45Q subsidies work, this was always the intent. It's now out in the open b/c Summit thinks this is how to 'sell' the project in North Dakota. A complete waste of IRA money.
