Waise, RuBisCO gets confused in the heat—it grabs oxygen instead of CO2, and that burns up the plant’s energy for nothing. In our Indian heat, it can slash wheat yields by a third. I know because I pushed that high-yielding ‘Shakti’ wheat seed here in Haryana—it looked so strong in the catalogue, but in a bad heatwave, the fields just cooked. Now I see farmers’ rotis getting thinner, and it sits heavy on my heart.
