Climate change. One of the most important issues of our time.
Waters are warming, ice caps are shrinking, forests are burning. Hurricanes are more frequent, icebergs are melting, deserts are expanding. The precious ozone layer is being destroyed and temperatures are rising.
We know it, and yet most of us don’t care.
Well now hear this:
It’s beginning to affect the wine. …

Sadly, it’s one of those things that if it doesn’t directly effect you…. you can ignore it.

Did you Know that since August of 2020 Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean increased by more than 30 percent and is currently the highest it’s been in nine years, according to the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility’s High Latitude Processing Center? It is freezing so fast Icebreakers have been called back for fear of being trapped? I know…MSNBD-, CNNLOL and HuffandwePuffington post missed this little bit of information.

That article was from 2016. I cannot find the news story I read in 2020, but a huge chunk of the Antarctic ice fell off the continent, affecting the breeding grounds of millions of penguins and other sea birds and animals. Climate change is real, and it is affecting everyone. If we keep on ignoring it as we are wont, it is not going to go away. But we are!

Keep Calm and Ferment. You can still make wine from raisins.

Never fear, they will find a new place to grow grapes. Besides, Chilean Merlot is better than anything from California anyway.

FOR GOD’S SAKE, NOT THE WINE!! If THIS doesn’t make people stand up and take notice (instead of trying to claim things are cooling off), nothing will.
