Remember that when we can't afford food anymore. Mass famine will stalk the land eventually and sooner than most think possible. At 40 C or 104 F enzymes necessary for photosynthesis start to break down. You do realize we live on an ever-warming planet, don't you? https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

We are now deep into The Long Emergency (Kunstler, 2005). Mr. Trump is the current driver of the fire truck racing through Clusterf*ck Nation with sirens blaring. Sorry, global warming is on the back burner (no pun intended) for the next 4 years. And is NOAA still around?

"At 40 C or 104 F enzymes necessary for photosynthesis start to break down."

I've lived amongst farmers in the boiling hot Southwest all my life. I've been an irrigator, and live next to an irrigation ditch, which I swim in on those boiling hot days amongst our thriving fields. And you're saying the lush, overgrown, verdant jungles of the steaming tropics are "photosynthesis breaking down?"
