The Climate Lunatics Are Now Targeting A Vital Food Product
Climate lunatics who want to ban beef and force everyone to eat bugs have a new target; rice
According to AFP news, climate “scientists” are targeting rice farming as a “dangerous,” emissions-heavy practice.
They say flooded rice fields which then naturally ferment hay and other plants, produce too much methane.
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.

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 22 million 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.

“Somebody needs to stop these climate maniacs before they cause billions of humans to starve to death.”
The somebody is us! We have to take control of the future in any self serving democracy. How is that? You might ask. The answer is to insist that CIR (citizens initiated referendum) is introduced into the constitution. The Swiss learnt this lesson in 1291 and have never looked back. It is also called direct democracy which means any law has to be formally approved by a majority of voters before it can be enacted. A political representative that does not follow their electors’ wishes can be recalled mid term and replaced. That puts a whole new meaning on the term political representative. The Swiss should be exporting their style of government around the world as a nascent business opportunity.

Robert,
Sounds like a good plan, I think it would fail in the UK as too many people have been brainwashed into believing the magic of climate crisis is real. We need direct examples showing the RGHE is totally false, this then needs to be proved in a court room and all RGHE liars can then be tried as frauds and charlatans. That will stop it entirely.

Hi Geraint,
“too many people have been brainwashed into believing the magic of climate crisis is real.”
That’s the whole point of CIR. We need to find out how many still believe after both sides of the argument have been put. Whatever the majority outcome – that will be the true democratic answer.
Your court solution will result in anarchy. Not a desirable or constructive outcome.

Huh, all this TALK about climate lunatics: why does no one talk about DISPOSING of the climate lunatics: IDENTIFY them from the Top down.
