Topic: Uv Radiation

1 chapters across the catalog

A farmer describes how extreme heat and UV radiation are preventing crops from thriving, even when they are only knee-high. Wigington explains this through "vapor pressure deficit," noting that plant pores shut down to prevent moisture loss, which stops carbon uptake and oxygen release. He argues that the environmental community's failure to discuss this effect of geoengineering is a form of professional hypocrisy.
