Important distinction: small and manageable - big unmanaged. D. 1. a) warm weather is good but at a certain point heat causes a steep drop in production. Chance that future average summer will be warmer than hottest summer on record (d. 1. b. 1) summer very likely by 2080-2100 normal summer is hotter than hottest. D. 2. crop fields increase in colder places decrease in warm areas: things that could lesson impact on farming. E. 2. rising co2 fertilizes plants (plants breather co2) E. 3. d) farmers move to canada heat resistant varieties improve expand irrigation farming technology (e. 3. d. 1) International trade - food surplus in one region can help offset deficit some- vertical hydroponic farming.
