For decades, climate scientists have warned that rising global temperatures pose a significant risk to human health. Climate models show that increases in average air temperatures could lead to more frequent extreme weather, rising sea levels and more intense wildfires. The models also forecast major impacts on plant life – and according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Arizona, those impacts are likely to be far greater than expected.
The [study](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-73063-7), published in the journal Nature Communications, reveals that canopy temperature – the temperature plants experience on their leaves, which impacts plant health and productivity – is predicted to increase 16% more than the surrounding air by the end of the 21st century. The study’s authors say that canopy temperature is a more accurate measure of vegetation-climate interactions.
This has been tracked pretty closely by gardeners and farmers, because, of course, it matters very much in that context.
The zones are shifting. It doesn’t *impact* the climate…it just *is* the climate. This has always been expected. Oranges are going to move north, and every other tree fruit is going to move North-er.
Plant parenthood is everyone’s survival.
Has there never been a serious discussion of stopping or severely reducing passanger flight? Seems like there is a lot to be gained from that. Not only is there a LOT of fuel burning that way, but it has worse effect at those altitudes.
This is why some of the long term plants, even native ones, in phoenix az dying.
I lived in phx for a long time and seeing them failing to cool down overnight, and die was a sad site.
