Rewetted organic soils emitted fewer greenhouse gases than drained fields. The reduction in CO₂ emissions outweighed the increase in methane emissions. Whether these results can be applied to the climate impact of entire rice fields in Switzerland is currently being investigated.

True. Rice growth is responsible for around 15% of global methane emissions. But measurements in an experimental facility in Switzerland suggest a positive climate balance for Swiss rice.

[2/2] This year’s melt was driven by a snow-poor winter and summer heatwaves. Glaciers below 3k m lost over 2 m of ice. Shrinking glaciers also destabilize mountains, as seen in May, when a rock–ice avalanche buried Blatten in the Lötschental.
