WEF Targets Rice Farming as Climate Threat—World Bank Pushes Crackdown on Methane

Now they're cracking down on rice—a food staple for almost half the world's population—under the guise of "saving the planet".

World Bank president Ajay Banga, speaking at the WEF: "What we have is an existential climate crisis."

"Methane is eighty times more dangerous than carbon dioxide."

"We're talking about... taking out ten million tonnes of methane by focusing on [rice paddy cultivation], on animal and dairy, and on waste management."
