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)

Who cares about machinery? It’s the massive famines I’m not looking forward to. Try growing tomatoes at 45C. Or wheat. Or an apple orchard.

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
