Meanwhile, in upstate #NY, rainfall is increasing, leading some farmers to consider growing rice in paddies. Opportunities exist in agricultural land that lies in flood plains, and promises benefits for aquatic bird habitats as well.

My comment: homegrown #NYS sake would be fabulous and I'm all for it, but it's all for naught if we don't stop burning fossil fuels. If not, this wetter warmer NYS will be a brief transitional state on the way to hell.

Yeah, fabulous to add even more methane: Up to 11% methane from rice of all anthropogenic sources isn't enough yet.
