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 off the top of my head, I might guess that he isn't clear on where tons of fertilizer comes from, where fuel to run tractors and combines comes from, or where the waste products coming out of factory-farmed chicken houses or or of cattle feed lot operations goes.

@Bodling @Sheril Elmo is probably planning to hype a vaporware "Cybertractor" to go with his ridiculous "Cybertruck" and tell farmers using those will save the planet.
