#India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened
Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026
"#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.
What's happening?
"The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.
"The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.
Why is this crop damage concerning?
"According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.
"This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.
"One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

#RecordBreaking #Temperatures Mask a Subtler Threat: #ChronicHeat
Long-term exposure to #HighTemperatures — even if they’re not abnormally high — is a growing health risk, particularly for outdoor workers and disadvantaged communities. [And plants and other living things]

#EDF cuts #nuclear production in reaction to soaring temperatures
Story by Eleanor Butler
August 14, 2024"EDF has reduced its electricity production at nuclear sites in France in response to soaring temperatures.
"Three reactors are currently affected, although the energy provider has said 'there is no safety risk'.
"A reactor located at the #BugeyNuclearPlant, a site near Lyon, has been closed since 12 August.
"Also near Lyon, the #SaintAlbanNuclearPlant has experienced production cuts since 11 August, and similar measures are being taken at the #Tricastin site. This is located in the South East of France, north of Avignon.
"Heat-related incidents aren't a new complication for EDF but rather a recurring problem, as exemplified when the firm published a #ClimateChange action plan last month.
"The firm classed #heatwaves as an 'acute risk' but estimated that annual production losses linked to #water resources would only amount to 1.5% in 2050.
"Today, these losses amount to around 0.3% of production a year for EDF.
"#HighTemperatures can interfere with nuclear processes as reactors are heavily reliant on water."

Future of the human climate niche
and
Quantifying the human cost of global warmingFuture of the human climate niche
"All species have an environmental niche, and despite technological advances, humans are unlikely to be an exception. Here, we demonstrate that for millennia, human populations have resided in the same narrow part of the climatic envelope available on the globe, characterized by a major mode around ∼11 °C to 15 °C mean annual temperature (MAT). "
"We show that in a business-as-usual climate change scenario, the geographical position of this temperature niche is projected to shift more over the coming 50 y than it has moved since 6000 BP."
"Global warming will affect ecosystems as well as human health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, and economic growth in many ways."
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1910114117Quantifying the human cost of global warming
"The costs of climate change are often estimated in monetary terms, but this raises ethical issues. Here we express them in terms of numbers of people left outside the ‘human climate niche’—defined as the historically highly conserved distribution of relative human population density with respect to mean annual temperature. We show that climate change has already put ~9% of people (>600 million) outside this niche."
"The worst-case scenarios of ~3.6 °C or even ~4.4 °C global warming could put half of the world population outside the historical climate niche, posing an existential risk"
"The ~2.7 °C global warming expected under current policies puts around a third of the world population outside the niche."

"Much of the Alps does not look right for this time of the year, with sparse #snowfall and unseasonably warm #weather allowing grass to blanket the #European #mountain range."
