Dear Skeptics, Climate change is already driving informed business decisions



British Wine Benefits as Climate Changes.  (The New York Times, 12/13/2013)

Double-digit increases for British wine industry during past decade. More obvious, though, may be the meteorological motive that is at least partly behind Mr. Elzinga’s move. By the middle of this century, Britain could become one of the world’s big wine producers, as global warming moves the limits of viticulture ever farther north.


On the other hand, the erratic and unpredictable weather patterns associated with climate change present a long-term challenge.

And on the flip side, climate change poses a threat to current wine-producing areas such as Bordeaux region in France and Tuscany in Italy.
