CO2isPlantFoodParticipantWinemakers will survive, international body says of climate change
“Wine producers all over the world have adapted to the changes and the plant has a capacity of adjustment that you can find in no other plant,” OIV Director General Jean-Marie Aurand told Reuters in an interview.
He cited the example of the Canary island of Lanzarote where vines are grown in lava which absorbs overnight dew – virtually the sole water they receive in the summer – and releases it during the day.
In China, he said, more than 80 percent of production acreage is located in regions where temperatures can drop below minus 30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit) in winter. Growers cover vines to protect them and uncover them when spring comes.

Are they forgetting about the dreaded global warming vineyard mite ? It’s a newly discovered species. Interestingly it was discovered by an Environmental Public Relations Agency and not by an entomologist. The GWVM sucks the tender, young, vulnerable wine grape dry in expectation of more and more ” global warming ” research funds.
Next great discovery. Cactus don’t mind the heat.
Most grape varieties like hot summers, cold winters and generally dry conditions but they absolutely love more CO2, they cannot get enough of it.
According to the IPCC the human race cannot survive a changing climate. Apparently the human race is less hardy than grapes.
With this new knowledge about grapes, the disastrous climate change situation is somewhat mitigated with the survivors being able to drink heavily of the fruit of the land.

JKBParticipantWarmer climate is business-friendly and promotes jobs, mostly in manufacturing air conditioners and ice makers. Kick back and chill some of that Chinese wine.

redblackParticipanthi, CO2isplantfood.
i’m curious. what’s your agenda in posting here?
are you baiting environmentalists for the sport? your sneering tone seems to suggest that that’s your intent, but far be it from me to put words in your mouth.
do you harbor secret guilt about driving a useless pickup truck in an urban area? do you luuurve shopping at wal-mart for cheap plastic foreign-made goods? do you lament the loss of plastic shopping bags? do you cling to the antiquated notion of reading your news on paper? do you viscerally hate spotted owls? do you work for royal dutch shell?
do you live in the 206?
but what is it – exactly – that pisses you off about environmental conservation?
