They’re Coming for Your Rice, But We Always Have Bugs

The Left is coming for our rice, but they probably won’t make Asians give it up. This will be for the West to regulate, especially the USA.

According to the AFP clip below, “Rice is to blame for around 10 percent of global methane emissions, a gas that, over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide. Scientists say that rice cannot be ignored if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Don’t worry; the crazies have a lot of bugs for you to eat. Bugs are the world’s bottom feeders.

Rice feeds half the world.

Watch:

The new “crisis” came at us in 2019 from Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum:

Global rice production is releasing damaging greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, doing as much harm as 1,200 average-sized coal power stations, according to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).

Good, let’s keep coal and dump rice.

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates around 770 million tonnes of rice were produced in 2018, with China and India responsible for approximately half of that amount.

Flooding isn’t strictly necessary for rice to grow – it’s an efficient way of preventing the spread of invasive weeds. It’s so fundamental to how many rice farmers operate that it’s not easy to imagine it being grown any other way…

Microbes that feed off decaying plant matter in these fields produce the greenhouse gas methane. And because rice is grown so prolifically, the amount being created is not to be sniffed at – around 12% of global annual emissions.

This crisis is as bogus as the rest of the asbsurdities Schwab conjures up.

Dr. William Happer at C-Fact explains the issue with methane gas.

“Few realize that large increases in the concentrations of greenhouse gases cause very small changes in the heat balance of the atmosphere. Doubling the concentration of methane – a 100% increase, which would take about 200 years at the current growth rates – would reduce the heat flow to space by only 0.3%, leading to an average global temperature change of only 0.2 °C. This is less than one-quarter of the change in temperature observed over the past 150 years.

“Most of the predicted catastrophic warming from greenhouse gas emissions is due to positive feedbacks that are highly speculative, at best. In accordance with Le Chatelier’s principle, most feedbacks of natural systems are negative, not positive.

It wouldn’t do much!

“So, even if regulations on U.S. methane emissions could completely stop the increase of atmospheric methane (they can’t), they would likely only lower the average global temperature in the year 2222 by about 0.2 °C, a completely trivial amount given that humans have adapted to a much larger change over the past century while reducing climate deaths by over 98%. And U.S. regulations will have little influence on global emissions, where producers are unlikely to be as easily cowed.

“Given that consumption of fossil fuels is likely to increase over the next few decades as developing countries pull themselves out of poverty, restrictions on U.S. oil and gas production will simply shift production to autocratic nations such as Russia, which have much higher methane-emissions rates than U.S. producers do.

Saw an article recently on how to protect your stored food from bugs and pests. Know what to do about keeping bugs and pests safe on shelves? NOTHING, because nothing eats dead bugs and pests. That should be the first clue right there.

Our climate has been changing since the day the earth was formed.

People are becoming so shallow that their confused minds, in a desperate search for excitement and meaning, feed on whatever is the latest fad or newest hoax.
Time to head down to the Circus Maximus.

I think most of the menthane gas is coming from the left and their bull sh it.
