I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.

Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:

25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.

As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

How much of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food?

Estimates of food emissions can range from one-quarter to one-third. Where do these differences come from?

@Sheril Elon Musk wants to start his own nation on Mars where he knows Earth countries can’t touch him. Slavery would return since he doesn’t have to oblige by any kind of national laws. We’re literally looking at a potential world that is Mobile Suit Gundam without the mechs and a few years after that there will probably be mechs.

@MotherOfMercy @Sheril Elon Musk wants to do that, but I don't think he'll ever pull off doing a successful landing on a non-Earth body, let alone setting up a colony.

He's too incompetent for that and I don't think his engineers are capable of doing it..

@ML2 @Sheril Elon Musk probably has some form of ADHD since he seems to be all over the place with his various projects. Teslas, from what I heard have been slipping, and he jumps to SpaceX and now it’s Twitter.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s Elon since you know Jeff Bezos or some other billionaire would love to do the same that it makes Sir Richard Branson look like he had a legitimate interest in space exploration.
