Wine
Climates Suitable for Wine
Whiner (or, if you prefer, WATB)
Of course, wine is associated with 'blue state'-ness, so I expect Herrs Rove, Shrub, & Cheney probably think this is a GOOD thing:
Climate warming could spell disaster for much of the multibillion-dollar U.S. wine industry. Areas suitable for growing premium wine grapes could be reduced by 50 percent — and possibly as much as 81 percent — by the end of this century, according to a study Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The paper indicates increasing weather problems for grapes in such areas as California's Napa and Sonoma valleys.
The main problem: An increase in the frequency of extremely hot days, according to Noah Diffenbaugh of the department of earth and atmospheric sciences at Purdue University.
Guess I should stock up now while I can still afford the stuff...
