Underscoring the importance to work on breeding for high temperature tolerance between and within species https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/05/one-billion-people-will-live-in-insufferable-heat-within-50-years-study
Just checking on COVID19 and CO2 emissions. Bad news:
"so far the "missing" emissions do not stand out"....
"which illustrates that to tackle our global heating emergency aggressive investments need to be made in alternative energy sources.

Future of the human climate niche
"... in the absence of migration, one third of the global population is projected to experience a mean annual temperature >29 °C currently found in only 0.8% of the Earth’s land surface, mostly concentrated in the Sahara"

On Robusta coffee temperature sensitiveness:
"A critical avenue for future research then is the identification of high temperature-resistant robusta cultivars that may help maintain coffee production as temperatures increase under climate change." https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.15097
