Hopefully, this database disambiguates some of the different ways to measure (and interpret) PHTs. Look at panel A in the figure below - 70 distinct methods even after trying to simplify and categorize them.

Plant heat tolerances (PHTs) remain a hot topic (pun intended), but their physiological relevance to broader metrics of performance - and even other metrics of heat tolerance - are are poorly established. Part of the issue with plant heat tolerances is that they are measured so many different ways.

That said, supporting a political party that seems inherently anti-science does seem hare brained.

I think this is a fascinating interview. 38:11 when Thiel takes a long time to answer if he thinks humans should persist is astonishing - not far off from closing the circle with radical environmentalists.

I agree that there has been stagnation from my narrow perspective on science.

What’s happening with the x-axis in the figure with model projections?
