help protect crops until a certain temperature threshold - around 36
or 40 C, according to Schauberger - but not beyond.</font></div>

Some scientists are experimenting with ways to genetically modify
crops that are more resilient to higher temperatures. However, this
approach hasn't demonstrated significant results so far and, according
to Elliot, contains restrictions in terms of how much the plants can
be altered. He sees the most likely adaptation strategy as being a
northward shift of traditional crop belts.</font></div>

"It may very well be that in the next 50 to 100 years, the new Corn
Belt is centered around North Dakota, Manitoba and Saskatchewan," he
said. "Parts of Iowa could be growing cotton and the Deep South -
where cotton is currently grown - will probably be too hot to grow
anything."</font><br>
