The ‘20°C effect’ could give us new insights into how temperature controls ecosystems and influences evolution – as well as how species might adapt to climate change.

    eh it’s more like 27 C for life on land

    I see this 20 C claim a lot and I wonder if those people have ever grown plants. 29 C is roughly the optimal temp for plants (stuff always grows slower just a few degrees cooler)

    They also devote like 5 paragraphs to species richness…of the oceans. Meanwhile literally every marker of biodiversity on land is higher in SEA and India than in Northwest Eurasia, which is a monoculture meadow in comparison

    obv global warming is still a threat to this
