The web of deceit is unraveling. As UK PM Rishi Sunak hastily reversed his decision not to attend the meat, dairy, fish and egg infused cop-out that is COP27 under severe peer pressure from other government officials, Greta Thunberg has refused to attend COP27 labeling it a greenwashing climate summit.

Meanwhile, an online news watchdog called NewsGuard has been caught attempting to purge any mention of the Climate Healers position paper on online news outlets. Here’s an email that I wrote in response:

“Dear NewsGuard,

Since you never followed up with me on my answers to your initial questions on my position paper from July 2021, I assumed that I had cleared all your doubts. Imagine my shock when I was forwarded email correspondences between you and online news outlets, where you were attempting to purge references to my paper on the pretext that it is incorrect.

In your email correspondences, you appear to be claiming that the UN FAO’s public Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) partnership with the International Meat Secretariat, the International Dairy Federation, the International Poultry Council and the International Egg Commission is immaterial to the accuracy of their report. I find this to be truly outrageous! As a systems engineer who has to build products that actually work, I have never taken scientific reports created with the assistance of such biased industry sources at face value, since I have invariably found them to be tainted and riddled with errors. Besides, my position paper lists these UN FAO errors with references in Section 4 and you are welcome to examine them. Since this email correspondence is being transmitted over internet links that I designed – I happen to have one connecting my laptop to the internet router – you can rest assured that I know my profession well. You can find more about my credentials and background here and here.

Please submit any further technical questions that you might have about my position paper and I’m happy to answer them. If you have any academic or UN FAO sources that question the validity of my paper, please have them write a rebuttal and publish it in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, which will allow me the opportunity to respond. They are also welcome to submit their rebuttal to Gerard Bisshop, former Principal Scientist for the Government of Queensland, Australia, and thereby, take me up on my $100K challenge.

Just as a web of deceit has been woven around nutrition science by the animal industry through the Protein myth (meat) and the Calcium myth (dairy), my position paper shows that a similar web of deceit is being woven around climate science. Given that our entire planet is at stake now, not just the health of the gullible, I refuse to not speak up about it.

I refuse to be an accessory to ecocide and climate genocide. I urge you not to be one either.

All the best,
Sailesh Rao.”

In stark contrast to the greenwashing at COP27 and the machinations at NewsGuard, Greta will find at V-COP11, the 11th Vegan Convergence Of the Peoples to be held online this weekend, Nov 5-6, a refreshingly direct approach to solving climate change through Food Healers, an initiative to make access to healthy, whole-foods plant-based Universal vegan meals, a basic human right. It’s a convergence where action replaces apathy and faith replaces fear.

At V-COP11, speakers will include
– John Doyle, the Sustainable Development Policy Coordinator of the European Commission, and James Desmond, concerned citizen of Cork, Ireland, who will tell us about their Kindred Spirits tour to energize grassroots action on Food Healers and climate change,
– Alison Hamje of WisdomHaus in Peru, who will tell us about the lessons we can apply from the 13,000 community kitchens in Peru towards Food Healers,
– Dr. Michael Klaper, who will explain why Food Healers is exactly what the doctor ordered,
– Dr. Ron Weiss, who will show how the Ethos Farm Project integrates rewilding, healthy food production and preventive health care all together,
– Dr. Shan Lakshmanan, who will talk about what is perhaps the longest running free vegan food distribution program in the world,
– Chef Sarah Bentley, who will explain why the world needs vegan community kitchens desperately now, and
– finally, I will speak about why Food Healers is the best thing we can do right now to save the planet practically.

Just as Captain Sully did during the final seconds of the US Airways Flight 1549’s descent towards the Hudson River, we need to focus on the best we can do – the best we can do to stop the annual rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere and bring it down.

Food Healers is the practical way to embrace humanity and all life on earth with love and keep the faith that nature will help us do the rest.

Join us at V-COP11 and let’s do it.

The schedule for the V-COP11 weekend is attached below.

Thank you for your support.
