Prof. Frank Mitloehner: The Scientist Mainstream Media Tried to Cancel

from Sustainability for Sinners · host Chris O'Connor

If you’re tired of talk and want real science, real debates, and real solutions — this interview cuts through the noise.In this hard-hitting conversation, I sit down with Professor Frank Mitloehner, Ph.D., Air Quality Specialist and Professor of Animal Science at UC Davis — a scientist who’s been attacked in The New York Times and by environmental activists for his research and outspoken views on food systems and sustainability. Mitloehner has become a lightning rod in the debate over climate science, livestock, and the future of food — accused of bias simply for working with farmers and industry to reduce environmental impacts. Yet the investigations claiming wrongdoing find no breach of disclosure requirements, and he continues to defend his work on its merits. In this interview we dig into:• Why he believes the narrative around livestock and greenhouse gases is misleading• How scientific debate gets distorted when media prioritises clicks over context• His quest for truth, not ideology• Why he defends farmers and working food producers• His critical perspective on synthetic foods & lab-grown meat hype👉 Follow him on X/Twitter: @GHGGuru — the official handle where he shares research insights and commentary. 📌 Featured in NY Times article “He’s an Outspoken Defender of Meat. Industry Funds His Research, Files Show” — explore more and judge for yourself. ***Interview recorded 3rd September 2025***
