Mayan village in Mexico impacted by climate change

Whenever I’ve been in Yucatan, the last three times, while filming the Yucatan Travel Movie, I assumed I could barely stand the mid-day heat because, well … because Yucatan is in the tropics and I’m not used to that kind of heat being from a temperate climate.

However, to my surprise, I recently found an online article at Yahoo News saying that the indigenous people of the area, the Maya, are also finding the climate hotter than normal. In the article, MAYAN VILLAGE IN MEXICO IMPACTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE, a woman says that farmers are no longer able to work in their fields in the heat of the noonday sun. Their main staple crop, corn, is stunted because of the continuing drought. Strangely, not only are the summers hotter, but also the winters are also colder.
