The crops we cultivate to feed ourselves and our animal slaves are grown outside. It’s a obvious statement, but it feels easy to forget when we spend most hours of the day indoors. Key stages in plant development are sensitive to temperatures. I used to think, it’s just a few degrees of warming. Well a few degrees hotter at a critical time of plant growth will affect yields of key staple crops like rice [1]. There’s a lot of suffering to come this century.
