Agricultural methods are one of the major factors that needs to be fundamentally overhauled, if we are going to have any chance at starting to reverse the effects of climate change.

In Vietnam, facing record high temperatures and a heatwave of 37+ degrees Celsius, farmers have switched to working nightshifts for outdoor labour.

From the article:

"With extremely high temperatures, it's very uncomfortable and exhausting to work during daytime, although of course I can see more clearly," [farmer Nguyen Hung Phuong] said.
Night planting began a few years ago at Nguyen Thi Hanh's farm.
"Our parents did not have head lamps. The weather was also not as hot," 56-year-old Hanh said.
Night planting has its advantages for the rice, which Hahn said is sensitive to extremes in temperature.

We are going to see more changes like this in people's behaviour. I think we would all do well to learn from these individuals' example and take action to adapt to the changing needs of our food crops as well as ourselves.

It's almost FAFO with Vietnam. They've been clearing forests at an incredibly stupid rate. Most of the SEA would be world leaders in stupid behaviour if it wasn't so common across the world since globalisation ramped up.
