TODAY’S VIDEO:

In today’s video, I respond to Elon Musk and his outrageous and incorrect claims about veganism. However, as well as Elon’s misinformation, I also react to the serious evidence that has come out against his company Neuralink. So is Elon Musk a consistent man of science, or is he just furthering his own agenda at the expense of others?

This really needs to stop. Killing some cows doesn’t matter for climate change.

Elon tweet about plant-based not helping the environment as much as electric transport:

Renewable energy production (solar, wind, geothermal), improving home insulation & electric transport will do the trick. Vegan/vegetarian helps a little, but isn’t critical. We should take the set of actions that maximize total public happiness!

Animal farming contributes more emissions than the combined exhausts of all transportation:

80% of Amazon deforestation is because of cattle farming:

We could free up an area of land equivalent in size to The US, Australia, The EU and China combined:

Carbon sequestration from rewilding would be higher than the exhausts of all transportation

Elon tweet saying he cares about animals:

I def believe in the ethical treatment of animals & taking action of climate, but these are mostly separate moral issues
