Would a modest increase in the temperature of the planet necessarily be bad? Are there any potential benefits?
Most food crops and grains start germinating when soil temperature is at 65/4.11 degrees, lettuce greens go to seed when soil temperatures reach 85/15.2 degrees. Photosynthesis plateaus at 94/20.2 degrees , then decreases to death of the plant at 110/29.1 degrees. As you can see so called “longer” growing seasons would mean that temperatures will start getting hotter before the crops are fully mature, resulting in decreased yields.
