Global warming.

Research: Climate plays a large part in determining plant growth and the production of crops. Crop growth is often limited by temperature and rainfall. An increase in temperature may suit some crops, but the accompanying increase in the evaporation of water will leave less moisture available for plant growth.
The changes in the weather will affect the type of crops grown. Some crops such as wheat and rice grow better in higher temperatures, but other plants such as maize and sugarcane do not. Changes in the amount of rainfall will also affect how many plants grow.

The effect of a change in weather on plant growth may lead to food shortages in some countries of the world. Droughts in countries that currently experience them may become more severe. Brazil, South East Asia, China and parts of Africa are likely to be affected most, and many people could suffer from hunger.


# Sea level rise became faster over the last century.

Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas.

Summary: With the ever-increasing temperatures, and the rising sea-levels, plants will soon be unable to photosynthesis due to the sky-rocketing moisture levels and therefore grow.
