>> "Nobody has tried this before, but with climate change, we have crops that, 10 years ago, we wouldn't have thought would be viable."

That's pretty interesting and relevant. Doesn't seem like they're shoehorning it in at all.

It's totally possible climate change has caused it a lot more viable to growing rice in the UK. I don't want to say they're lieing. I'm not some agricultural specialist to argue with them. But the way it's reported is so lazy and has such big holes in basic logic that it makes anyone reading it just highly skeptical.
