Rice plantation creating greenhouse gases is a big problem. On average they are producing between 50 and 100 million tons of methane a year. Methane is a greenhouse gas that plays a huge role in global warming. Rice is an important source of food that is produced all around the world. In order to grow rice the soil must be completely waterlogged and warm, and it's these conditions that methanogenesis is present and released into the air. The good news is that there is only 4 months out of the year that this soil is waterlogged. It's a scary thought to know just how much more greenhouse gases it would produce yearly if it waterlogged soil was all year around. Rice plantation creating greenhouse gases is a serious problem, and depending on where the plantation is located the emissions can vary vastly. This is due to the different temperatures, and other factors such as the how deep the water is and how long the rice paddy soil is waterlogged. The warmer the temperature the more methane gas will be released into the air. Global warming is a serious problem, and there are high amounts of greenhouse gases being produced on a daily basis. If this continues that rice plantation creating greenhouse gases won't exist nor will anything else. Things have already begun to change due to the climate change. And they will continue to worsen the warmer it becomes. There are many health risks surrounding this problem as well. The warmer climates will mean more infections disease, such as malaria. These rice plantation creating greenhouse gases need to stop just like we need to stop the things that we do that creates greenhouse gases as well. It's important that we all understand that we are required as humans living on earth to do our part. There are going to be some sacrifices that we will need to make in order to reduce the amounts of greenhouse gases that we produce. The rice plantations, factories, and many others are not the only ones to blame. We all play a huge role in this problem. Our homes alone produce large enough quantities of carbon dioxide, then our luxurious cars and everything else that goes along with living. You must learn the things that you need to begin implementing into your life to play a role in saving the earth. It's not hard nor is it expensive, but it is certainly important. Going green is definitely something that we all need to do, and it's slowly beginning to increase with popularity due to the tv programs and commercials. |
