Chinese scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the fight against global warming. Led by scientist Li Jieping, a team of researchers in northwest Beijing has successfully grown 'climate-proof' potatoes that can withstand the harsh effects of climate change. The potatoes, which weigh an average of 136 grams (4.8 oz), were the result of a three-year study that aimed to combat the devastating impact of higher temperatures, drought, and flooding on food security. The study found that yields were cut by more than half due to climate change, but the new potato variety has shown remarkable resilience. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the way we grow and consume food, and could be a crucial step in addressing the global food security threats posed by climate change.
