"Climate Change Threat: Rising Tree Temperatures Pose Severe Consequences"

A new study warns that rising temperatures are causing trees to reach temperatures at which they can no longer function, with potential severe consequences for tropical forests. Researchers found that a small percentage of tropical leaves are already exceeding critical temperature thresholds, and if climate change continues, entire canopies could die. Tropical forests are crucial for biodiversity and climate regulation. The study highlights the need for climate mitigation efforts to protect these critical ecosystems.
