@Freeman1899 @Paolomc84 @JeremyClarkson Well they do actually. E.g. maize: “Each degree day spent above 30◦C reduced the final yield by 1% under optimal rain-fed conditions, and by 1.7% under drought conditions.” https://t.co/jZGa63xrBK
Introducing climate week with the paper of the week: Lobell, Bänziger, Magorokosho & Vivek use historical maize trial data and combine this with weather data to look at the relationship in Africa https://t.co/C0WoXddLkz
Here is a list of excellent papers I put together that all examine the complex relationship between plants and co2. This should help refute the tired trope of "co2 is plant food." #ClimateChange #climatebrawl https://t.co/dGTs89GnQb

Nonlinear heat effects on African maize as evidenced by historical yield trials. Lobell et al., Nature Climate Change http://t.co/WLRuYEcf9m
@queenpsays At least the heat isnt killing your crops like in Africa. 😉 http://t.co/B6AkcYjmXk
@NoDirectAction Decreased food yields are well documented. Try reputable science journals. eg http://t.co/ATxExotL
Higher temperatures reduce maize yields http://t.co/qL1If9d via @npgnews #climate change
Each day above 30C reduces final maize yield by at least 1% in Africa http://t.co/uQ3lli3 via @cgiarclimate
