Methane Series: Reducing Agricultural Methane Emissions from Rice and Manure
This webinar reviews a report released by the California-China Climate Institute in July 2024 focused on China’s strategies to reduce methane from rice and manure.
Methane is responsible for approximately 20 - 30 percent of current global warming, and methane emissions continue to increase worldwide. In the U.S. and China, agriculture is a major source of methane emissions. For both nations, one potential shared avenue for reducing methane is through more sustainable agricultural practices. The U.S. and China are now taking action to reduce methane emissions from the agricultural sector, particularly rice cultivation and manure management. What is the current state of agricultural methane mitigation in these two countries? Given the different policies and technological approaches, what lessons can both countries share with each other?

    Even if we could contain the biogas from harming the environment, animal agriculture is not a sustainable way to feed 8 billion plus humans on earth. We are using half of our land mass to grow feed for the livestock, have grazing room for them, and we are using substantially more water to raise and produce meat products rather than have fresh water to give humans as well. We must change the farming industry--move to produce and vegetables. Plant trees. Etc.

    Thank you Hu Min for mentioning reducing animal agriculture! Makes more sense to tackle this problem on the front end rather than the back end. Like-- 'don't make the mess in the first place' --versus 'clean up a huge mess after that could have been avoided'.

    We have to stop putting profit over planet! Cooling the planet must be first and foremost our concern, or we will have no incomes to worry about! Is anyone talking about incentives for farmers to convert to produce versus animal ag? To decrease the production of manure and decrease food waste. Use land mass to grow food to feed humans, plant more trees to soak up CO2?? Less manure improves water quality, improves ocean pH, gives more fresh water available to humans. Less animal ag stops overproduction of large animals. It is unsustainable to continue the level of factory farming that is currently in place. Thoughts?

    Data is step 1 in the scientific method. You will only find methane where you look for it; look everywhere. There are seasonal emissions of methane that are missing from some data sets, Eg: rice patties. I've also seen LARGE random emissions from locations you wouldn't expect, like the Antarctic ice mass and the Sahara Desert. These are significant in magnitude. Hypothesis: The North American continent emits less methane now than it did 500 years ago. Remember the Bison and the Beavers. When you mix politics with science, you get non-science.

    1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere/GHGs, makes the earth cooler than it would be without that atmosphere like that reflective panel set behind the windshield. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth would become much like the Moon, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory comes from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" upwelling energy as a LWIR , 1.0 emissivity, ideal black body which 4) cannot happen because of the non-radiative, kinetic energy, heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules and as demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science: principia-scientific.org/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-with-a-boiling-water-pot/ 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change.
