While they're attacking farming for carbon and nitrogen, manufacturers of cheap plastic toys are allowed to put out as much as they like. Hundreds of thousands of completely frivolous plastic products are produced, shipped, broken, and shipped back to be dumped in the ocean every year, but they focus on limiting food.
Because the scale of food production with rice is much larger than consumer plastic production. They’re different issues and it’s not like you have to choose between them. That’s stupid logic.
They aren’t going to ban rice because of climate change.
The most likely thing to happen is that you’ll see this pressure spur the development of higher quality perennial rices that reduce the need for yearly planting in the first place.
You know how we know this is bullshit?
