A great man, charming and humble. I had the privilege of meeting him a few times and experiencing his generous nature.
His work was not the most comfortable reading but his passion really came across and we will regret not listening to the likes of him in the next years. At least he managed to avoid seeing the worst of it before he died.
I hate when old people die, it’s sad and reminds me that eventually we all will too
If you want to take his ideas seriously you should go vegan. Animal agriculture is responsible for 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and for the degradation of the environment in other ways.

Tom Scott spoke to him just over a year ago – incredibly switched on for someone over a century old.
