As heat rises, rice pumps out more methane
Futurity: Research News
The study considers 63 different experiments on rice paddies, mostly in Asia and North America, and finds that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere boosted rice yields by 24.5 percent and methane emissions by 42.2 percent, increasing the amount

A cyclical effect: More atmospheric CO2, more greenhouse gas per grain of rice
Phys.Org
Methane in rice paddies is produced by microscopic organisms that respire CO2, like humans respire oxygen. More CO2 in the atmosphere makes rice plants grow faster, and the extra plant growth supplies soil microorganisms with extra energy, pumping up
