Recently, a study was done to analyze the effects of global warming on tropical rainforests. In particular, this study looked at what happens when the leaves in tropical tree canopies experience extreme temperature increases. The results indicated that about 0.01% of the leaves could actually get too hot to photosynthesize! While this is a very small percentage, it provides an important clue about the possible consequences that the world may face should it warm 4 degrees Celsius or more. It also sparks the question, why do tropical forests matter? Why are the Tropics so Important?
