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, which then naturally ferment hay and other plants, produce too much methane.
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 in 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 and caused a major food crisis.

WHEN WILL WE FINALLY HAVE HAD ENOUGH, RISE UP, AND KILL THESE LUNATICS BEFORE THEY KILL US????!?!??!???!??!??!???!??!?!
Rice Rice Baby!
Bug Lives Matter.
Burn down a city to prove it.
The Chinese are killing us by staying alive!
Almost overnight Sri Lanka went to a starvation economy, but the people revolted.
The Central Valley in California is a major rice growing region. They’ll come for California farmers first. But stopping Asia from growing rice just ain’t going to happen.
Kill 3.5 billion people, no more rice needed.
Don’t forget Arkansas! They never miss an opportunity to punish the little people of flyover country.
I guess they’ll be wanting to make “Beyond rice” out of plants now.
You will eat your Soylent Green and you’ll be happy.
How long until rice processing facilities mysteriously blow up? How long until the train cars hauling rice de-rail?
Rice won’t last long as a target. Yellow, and to some extent brown and black, populations depend on rice much more than Caucasians. Someone will accuse the enviro-nazis of being racists and they’ll run for cover. The whole debate about over-population pretty much died down for the same reason. Once it was evident that Caucasians weren’t to blame, the leftists were afraid of being accused of racism, and suddenly over-population wasn’t a big problem any longer.
Agreed. Why won’t they simply phuqov?
Exactly right. Watch Newsom jump on this and kill rice farming in California.
I think we need to MAKE them.
They will come for the California farmers first.
The other countries who produce rice are running away from our clown country full of trannies, alphabet people and insane greenies.
Someone needs to post the meme of the guys who throw their heads back and laugh.
All life is in its own way bad for life. To protect life on earth we must end it, or at least limit it as much as possible.
And the ecoNazis would happily KILL every last one of them. Gotta get the world population down to that magic 500 million mark.
