Yes like agriculture uses resources, resources need to be responsibly managed, not responsibly managing said resources either because we were 5,000 years ago and didn’t know better or if it’s now and we do know better we just aren’t willing to pay for it is what causes climate change not things just existing
The article just says that it was due to the rise of agriculture, not rice in particular.
Edit: and fuck capitalists
Apologies, here is the original article by Ruddiman. Methane production is linked to rice farming since it involves creating artificial wetlands.
