So let's ban one of the cheapest foods that the most impoverished rely on, to solve the "climate change" problem.
I'm pretty sure Asia will go along with this.![cuckoo :cuckoo: :cuckoo:](/styles/smilies/cuckoo.gif)
"The effects of changing climate—rising temperatures, more frequent droughts, floods, and intense typhoons—are devastating rice farms and farmer livelihoods. However, rice production itself has an impact on the climate: significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—methane, nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are byproducts of rice farming and the rice value chain.
Rice is responsible for 10% of global methane emissions, and in Southeast Asia, one the world’s major rice bowls, rice cultivation accounts for as much as 25-33% of the region’s methane emissions."
