Wine production is a very sensitive process. Even the smallest changes in the climate or soil conditions of the grapes may alter the final product. In regards to the climate crisis, shifts in climate, weather patterns, and carbon dioxide levels can have a great impact on how wine tastes. In fact, it is possible that by the year 2100, the U.S. could lose up to 81% of its premium wine grape acreage. But even earlier, popular wine-producing countries like Italy, Greece, and France, could become completely inhospitable to grape production by 2050.
There are some technical solutions vineyards can do, like improving soil, water efficiency, moving planting to higher altitudes, and even changing the kind of grapes used for wine that’ll survive climate shocks. But the most important solution is climate action and mitigation of emissions.

this is why for a couple decades wine makes have been buying land further north in places like southern England or Washington state. Wine production will shift north from California or France and south in the Southern Hemisphere
Good. Then we won't have as many drunk drivers on the road
pay close attention to the cyclonic motions of our upper atmosphere for the next 20 to 30 years
You can’t tell
You buy a label 🏷
Obliviously this fella is too young to watch the inconvenience truth. Those predictions didn't come true, and these won't either.
I do things every day to reduce my carbon footprint but the cards are stacked against us. The city won’t drop me off another recycling container and I’m disabled. It might sound like a small problem but there are millions of disabled people out there that love to recycle and when they run out of room they can’t take it anywhere because they just can’t. My town is turned down a permit for wind power and solar is too expensive
