This ignores the fact that temperature has a known strong effect on flowering time [1]. It’s the obvious and evidence-based reason for the phenomenon, so there isn’t any basis to invent some other reason to do with hybrid genetics. Especially since there is no evidence for your hybrid hypothesis whatsoever.
There is also no reason for corn getting bigger when climate change happens so a ‘similar plot’ would not make us conclude anything of the sort. This is therefore a terrible analogy. In fact the evidence is that climate change will reduce corn yield [2].
