Intensified Rainstorms Due to Warming Climate Could Reduce Heat Damage to Crops

Intensified rainstorms predicted for many parts of the United States as a result of warming climate may have a modest silver lining: they could more efficiently water some major crops, and this would at least partially offset the far larger projected yield declines caused by the rising heat itself.
