At the time when the World Economic Forum began its climate change move to cancel meat, I pondered about whether they would go after rice as well, thinking that rice would be given a pass as Asians eat it, and the main attack is upon the West. But, not so, even though over half the world depends upon rice, the climate change machine is now going against rice. Rice is a big methane producer, and methane is hated by the regime, even more than carbon dioxide. What they intend to do about it is not clear, beyond the truism, of somehow reducing methane production in rice farming, which could be done to some degree, but the crop itself is intrinsically methane producing. You just have to look at the paddy fields to see happy bubbles of methane jumping to be free. I guess global mass famine is … back on the menu, boys!

“Now it is firmly ensconced among the climate change cult that eating meat is killing the planet and you must ‘eat ze bugs’, the same people have a new target, rice.
“Rice cannot be ignored.”
The Food and Agriculture Organization notes that “Rice is one of the most important staple foods in the world. Over 50 percent of the world population depends on rice for about 80 percent of its food requirements. About 95 percent of the global output of rice is produced and consumed in developing countries.”
What is this really about?
“Rice is to blame for around 10 percent of global emissions of methane, a gas that over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide. Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rice cannot be ignored.”
