We'll just starve all those pesky Asians:

...the report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change meeting this week in Bangkok concludes that rice production was a main cause of rising methane emissions in the 20th century. It calls for better controls.

"There is no other crop that is emitting such a large amount of greenhouse gases," said Reiner Wassmann, a climate change specialist at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines.

Clearly the Martians are growing more rice as well. That explains the recent climate change on Mars.

Its time to stand up and say:

"I reject the premise that the activities of mankind should not affect the environment. Incidental anthropogenic changes to the climate are morally neutral and should be adjusted to just like any non-anthropogenic change."

Hot, colder, dryer, wetter ... yeah, that's right. Now get busy dealing with it and stop pretending that the world never changes.

I've been told one of the reasons methane is currently not rising is smog over east Asia. Smog can lead to enhanced production of OH radicals, which act to clean hydrocarbons like methane from the lower atmosphere

Rand, what are you implying?

You don't propose any solutions to the global warming problem, just kind of act as if it is some thing invented by some people for political purposes, and nothing should be done. There must be a term for this. You create strawmen, almost saying "UN wants to starve all asians". Btw in China the CO2 production per capita is about 3 tons per year, it's 20 in USA.

Yet you are no anthropogenic global warming denialist, are you?

If you have so much to complain about, what is it you are really complaining about? What should be done?

Now it's just childish whining.

Of course a big proportion of your commenters are staunch denialists, one could play bullshit bingo here sometimes. The Mars Global Warming being one of the sure things. The Same Scientists Promised Us An Ice Age is another common one. All easily picked apart.
The warming on Mars is probably seasonal and local (it's not caused by the sun as we are watching the sun with satellites). About the ice age myth, scientists did only talk about an ice age in the thousands years scale, the media might have made a wrong impression at times unfortunately.

If you realize you have been misled, get angry and go back to the source that misled you and make them retract their point. If they don't, mark the source as unreliable and tell others too.

That would be rational behaviour. Instead, some people tend to stick to sources that have been proven wrong countless times.

It seems instapundit at least propagated that bogus "global warming on mars" meme.

I don't hold him in high regard.

Lame, Rand.

I dont see anyone calling for reduction in yield. Just maybe that people might take a second look at the whole "growing rice in a swamp as done for thousands of years" thing.

So far as I know, rice does not actually require methanogenic bacteria.
