Livestock, Climate Change, and Attacks on a Scientist - Dr. Frank Mitloehner
Dr. Frank Mitloener is an expert in the contributions of livestock to climate change. He is a researcher that studies ways to mitigate the greenhouse gases from ruminant digestion, and a trusted expert in outreach to ensure the implementation of new strategies. In the first part of today's podcast Dr. Mitloener talks about the impacts of cattle on climate change and new strategies to decrease that impact. In the second half we discuss a targeted effort between Greenpeace and the New York Times to paint Dr. Mitloener's work in a negative light, providing the perception of malfeasance and industry influence-- where no evidence of such claims exists.
