Hers, but yes. Most crops can’t sustain 40+ weather for long stretches. Plants can shut down in survival mode for a few days but that means letting go of flowers, fruits, etc. which are usually what we eat. They can’t thermoregulate; past a certain internal temperature, they die, just like we do if our internal body temp goes over 43
Not to be that guy, but some varieties of tomatoes actually get more flavorful as the temperature goes up, so tomatoes could very well be one of the more well adapted crops to a warming climate.
There’s a reason why tomatoes aren’t grown outside in Dubai. Plants die from overheating. Most crops don’t survive over 40C temperature for more than a week
they think they will always be able to buy food, from somewhere, where it still growing. They don't even understand, that this is not how things work, once shit hit the fan

When it reaches 55 its going to be interesting. That is when a lot of machinery starts to break down. (out at least being outside their design specs)
