She claims to be a meteorologist, so a scientist??

in reality she’s a weather girl on breakfast tv.

I don't do Instagram but looking at this...

...it looks like Laura Tobin, like @Jerry says, a weather girl on the telly.
She bloody well ought to know better 🤬
Maybe she's not a real scientist then :scratchhead:
Trouble is she’s a big opportunity to spread crap.
.
That's the trouble, spouting serious untruths to big audiences - just like Attenborough 🤬🤬🤬
 
I find it VERY difficult to believe that growing spinach leaves etc in a factory under artificial lights (lots of motors, robots etc) can ever be more environmentally friendly than using natural light in fields. I guess at least some of that electricity was produced by burning fossil fuels.
Subsidies must be spectacular to pay for all that robotic gear!

Going to throw my hat into the ring now.
I am mostly a lurker on here, but also a farmer, geologist and earth scientist.
I have messaged channel 4, Ade adatapan and the BBC in the last two days pointing out the flawed science in their arguments for eating less beef.
Unsurprisingly no replies so far.

You won’t get a reply I bet.

Far better to lodge a complaint with OFCOM.

Get enough complaints and they have to respond.

the presenter’s twitter feed has melted down with people pointing out how of the mark is, he’s tried to reply but he’s still punting up the wrong river
