Climate change lunatics who want to ban beef and force everyone to eat bugs have a new target.
According to AFP news, climate “scientists” are targeting rice farming as a “dangerous,” emissions-heavy practice.
They say flooded rice fields [pictured], which then naturally ferment hay and other plants, produce too much methane. [emphasis, links added]

According to National Geographic, rice is a main and key food source for 3.5 billion people.
“Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Rice has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years.
“Scientists believe people first domesticated rice in India or Southeast Asia. Rice arrived in Japan about 3,000 years ago. The Portuguese most likely introduced it into South America in the 16th century,” the magazine reports.
“Today, the world’s largest rice producers are China, India, and Indonesia. Outside of Asia, Brazil is the largest rice producer. Rice grows in warm, wet climates. It thrives in waterlogged soil, such as in the flood plains of Asian rivers like the Ganges and the Mekong.
“‘Deepwater rice’ is a variety of rice that is adapted to deep flooding, and is grown in eastern Pakistan, Vietnam, and Burma.”
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka recently adopted a number of climate change policies on reducing fertilizer, which caused a major food crisis.
“In April 2021, then-president Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced an abrupt ban on the import of chemical fertilizers to force the country of 22mn to embrace organic farming. The prohibition lasted only about six months, but analysts said the ill-fated policy not only stoked an economic crisis, but it would also leave Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector hobbled for years,” the Financial Times reports.
“Over the past 18 months, the country has become a cautionary tale for global agriculture. Vital inputs such as fuel and fertilizers are in short supply, with prices soaring.
“Yields from rice and other staples have halved in many areas and the once largely self-sufficient Indian Ocean island now depends on international aid to combat a hunger crisis.”
There’s no doubt a new climate attack on rice will have a catastrophic impact.
Somebody needs to stop these climate maniacs before they cause billions of humans to starve to death https://t.co/iOoRnTuukx

Net Zero and saving the planet. The above describes this. ‘The operation was a success. The patient died, but the operation was a success.’ You might want to think about transgender mutilation on minors in the same context.
So now will they ban Rice over flimsy evidence and bunch of crack-pots and faked studies? Modern Day Enviromentalisms a form of Stupidity and Insanity
There have been multiple articles that were actually fraudulent on how climate change was adversely impacting one crop or another. Now it is the climate change movement that posses the greatest threat as we have seen by forced reduction in fertilizer to the effort to take farms out of production in the Netherlands.
