Plants showing some resilience to some range of critical factors is an interesting study ,however, it is stupidity to believe that it shall be business as usual even in the face of climate change. Scientists may have studied a limited impact of climate change in their quest such as increase in temperature, less or more rainfall with shorter or larger dry spells, etc. but have they factored in, the higher velocity winds, bigger sized hails in hailstorm, fogg and sleet, early or late and more harmful pest attacks, resultant impact of climate change on friendly and unfriendly insects that can impact the produce, etc. which also have a co-relation to climate change. Even negative impacts of Climate change have to be studied on Post Harvest practices and storage at farm and at institutional levels.
