Banana more resistant to climate change: Scientists

The banana could soon replace many crops as a staple food source. Scientists say the fruit is more resistant to climate change than others. Bananas thrive in southern India's tropical climate - the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka produce more than 27 million tonnes of the fruit a year. Farmers in India are already recognising it as the most reliable source of income. Al Jazeera's Sohail Rahman reports from Hoseharrli in Karnataka, India.

This clip is way too misleading.

It's like bananas will safe us from climate change and how much the climate have to change until bananas could be grown here in Finland?
