Hey, I think this may actually be fake. Did you notice the URL is nytco.com rather than the one all their news articles typically come from, nytimes.com?
There is a new trend of bad actors trying to impersonate big publications by changing the URL slightly and copying the website design. Some of them are very convincing. This one was hard to figure out because the NYT is indeed owned by NYT Company, but all news articles are posted through nytimes.com (with the exception of only this particular article). When you search for New York Times Company, nytco.com doesn't even come up.
Maybe, we can't be sure nowadays.
The site/URL was first registered on 1997-11-14, though, and the NYT is featuring him also at https://www.nytimes.com/events/climate-forward-2024
The New York Times is a right-wing rag, and we should stop pretending it's not.
