Personally, I'd take the advice of the article and not buy stock in vineyards in England in spite of Mother Earth burning up.

This article seems to take a simple approach to a complex question. The failures of the British to develop a true wine industry is due to many reasons, climate being low on that list. Such other factors as:
** Easy access to superior wine from Bordeaux.
** A taste for the strong wines of Portugal (note how many Port lodges have British names: Cockburn, Croft, Sandeman, Churchill, Taylor, Dow)
** a preference for beer (cheaper, easier to make, went better with British food)
They also ignore that some truly great wines come from regions further north and/or cooler then England (Champagne, Niagra, Rhine).

Sounds to me like vineyards are the cause of global warming especially in the US where vineyards have increased many fold. Now don't rush to rip out any vines as I need my daily medicinal intake and if it gets any warmer I will be able to grow my own wine here in the Redwoods... >:o)

Maybe what they need is the introduction of the Malbec grape.

My thinking is....the more wine, the better. I wish them well.

The debate: Is human-induced warming boosting British temperatures to "unnatural" levels, or is the gradual warming a repeat of previous cycles?False debate - I adamantly refuse to partake in the nonsense and arrogant lie that humans are inducing a natural cycle that is obviously reflected in history per the author's own statements.

It's not nice to fool with Algore's theory of global warming.

Recently a little farming returned to Southern Greenland, so we appear to be approaching the temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period.
