Climate Change Threatens Fine Wine Production

The climate change of our record cold winter?

That climate change?

jukin, your hatred of all things you identify as "liberal' is causing gaps in your logic:

Wouldn't a "record cold winter" signal a change from the norm, according to your belief that weather is synonymous with climate?

You can't argue with junkin. He/she/it is way more credible than the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University.

Of course climate change is happening, the climate is always changing.

Temperatures have leveled off and been dropping for the last 10 years. We were coming out of a mini-ice age during the later half of the 19th and 20th centuries, so of course temperatures have been trending higher.

The truth is that temperatures were MUCH higher during the medieval warming period, and plenty of fine wine was being grown throughout England during that time. Currently, England is a bit too cold to be a strong producer of fine wines. So IF temperatures continue to go up, which will cause CO2 levels to rise (it's not the other way around as many man-made climate change proponents will have you believe), we may have to shift some crop production to places that are more suitable for wine grapes. However, with the increase in CO2 levels, agriculture will get a nice boost because plants breathe CO2. There would also be more arable land, and no noticeable rise in ocean levels.

I haven't seen any evidence that any major disasters would be caused by an increase in global temperatures.

Let us not forget the recent peer reviewed study that concluded that the last ten years of cooling coincided with China's industrial boom. All of the dirty coal burnt over there released sulfur particles that reflected sunlight back into space.

Or maybe you find the idea of burning coal to increase global cooling offensive, we could go to Australia and wipe out the feral camels in exchange for carbon credits. Click,Click Boom!

Climate change? What climate change? Let's just stick our heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist. That should work well, right?

No, the climate change of the current southern USA record heat wave and drought.

That climate change.
