Many plants simply can't fix carbon in the extreme heat unless there's an abundance of water, the patterns of which are also changing. Some plants have evolved strategies to deal with this but most haven't had the need, including the trees of the boreal forest. Not only is that the largest land biome it's a shit ton of carbon, and shits on fire, yo.
These people pitching this never cared about truth. Pretty soon they'll hit the bedrock of "dying in the heat is noble" or some shit.
