The Guardian, a UK daily newspaper, said that successive heat waves threaten nature's ability to provide food for humans, according to what researchers say. The experts warn of a "silent, invisible death" in the oceans in light of record temperatures scorching the land. Marsham stressed that the planet is not witnessing this at present, but in the coming decades, it will be one of the things he fears. The newspaper stated that the heat wave that hit Europe in 2018 had led to massive crop failures and a 50% yield loss in central and northern regions of Europe. And in 2022, record temperatures in the United States led to the spoilage of vegetables and fruits in agriculture.
