In response to Fleiss et al. (2022), climate change will affect palm oil yields in Malaysia very detrimentally by 2100 and less so before that date

Abstract

Fleiss et al. (CABI Agri Biosci 3:59, 2022) suggest that palm oil yield from Malaysia oil palm will not be affected substantially by increased temperature from climate change with evidence from a misinterpretation of a paper co-authored by the current author. This current comment article provides evidence that suggest that yields will be much lower in the future.
