Opinion | The Climate Solution That’s Horrible for the Climate (Published 2023) Corn ethanol and soy biodiesel accelerate food inflation and global hunger, but they’re also a disaster for the climate and the environment.

Oh, and here's another essay I once wrote in the NYT about how we could save forests by ditching ethanol. So on Sunday, if you find yourself wondering why I didn't write about how we need to stop using valuable land to grow grain for our fuel tanks, well, I did.

Opinion | No One Wants to Say ‘Put Down That Burger,’ but We Really Should (Published 2022) If current eating and farming trends continue, the world will clear at least one and a quarter Indias’ worth of land by 2050.

Hey, I just wanted to post this essay I once wrote in the NYT about how we need to eat less beef to save forests. No reason. Although this Sunday, if you read something else by me and wonder why this idiot didn't write about how we need to eat less beef, well, I did.

Opinion | We’re Going to Have to Learn to Love Factory Farms (Gift Article) Every farm, even the scenic ones with red barns and rolling hills, is a kind of environmental crime scene, an echo of whatever wilderness it once replaced.

Some jerk wrote an essay in the NYT claiming industrial agriculture is actually good for forests and the climate. That jerk is me! Here’s a free link: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/o...
