It’s that Global Warming Thingy again. Killing our businesses, destroying the earth.
Oh wait, did they say COLD. Hmmm. Plus, I forgot that it’s Climate Change that’s destroying the earth. Global Warming is so passé. My bad.

If France is anything like Canada’s Niagara wine region, your right.
There is a lot of Chinese investment in the vineyards.

Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie said on Monday ... "France has never seen such a frost wave in early spring."
Thank goodness for globul warming or it would have been much worse!
And weird that we should first hear of this from Al Arabiya news!
