Who would have thought that a warmer climate could create more frequent spring frosts? It’s not as if you can expect fewer frosts in a cooler climate. But maybe that’s just my bourgeois logic at fault. If you find that people aren’t buying that argument anyway, you can always just blame Trump.
Traditionally, the plants’ buds break out in spring, emerging with colorful grapes that range from the cabernet franc’s deep blues to the soft greens of the region’s most popular grape, riesling. However, a warming world is making that happen earlier, adding to uncertainty and potential risks for farmers. If a frost comes after the buds have broken, growers can lose much of the harvest.
Political tensions, such as tariffs amid President Donald Trump’s trade wars and the administration’s rollback of environmental policies, are also looming problems.
Sounds like total BS to me. I’m with you…an earlier spring will bring *less* frosts, not more.
“We’re all going to die.”
Where have I heard that before?
“Devastating frosts in recent years have caused “catastrophic” crop loss. ”
A sure sign of dramatic climate change, that there.
Morons.
Whineries are affected by weather? Who knew? And why didn’t they share this important information?
Climate has not changed in any manner that is measurable, nor that can be attributed to increased atmospheric CO2. Nonetheless, the Climate Clowns continue to blather on because they don’t comprehend weather.
Oh no, I won’t be able to continue to not buy crappy french wines.
