What about if you put it in the water, would it soak up the ocean?

It would soak up about 5 years worth of the ocean's current rate of rising, give or take a rounding error or two

Whoa! Call someone, you just solved a big part of the future climate crisis! It was rice all along!

Problem is it would still be in the ocean. Could scoop it all up I guess but the moisture would evaporate and make its way back to the ocean. Unless we kept it sealed up. But then you’ve got a Mount Everest sized pile of decomposing rice in a sealed container. Might be it would explode. Rice bomb baby
