Not so fun fact: greenhouse gas emissions from rice production globally is almost the same as air travel. The main cause is paddy fields constantly being flooded.

🔥 Why won’t the heat leave?

In recent weeks persistent heat waves have roasted various parts of the world. 🌐

The cause? Heat domes, which trap extreme weather in place – like a lid on a pot.
