France has new reason to fight global warming

[Vladd67]

So now the French have been given a good reason to fight global warming.
Best wines will come from Scotland if climate change is not stopped, French chefs say - Telegraph
Maybe Ace could set up a vinyard for us? Glen Chron perhaps?

 

[Ursa major]

So another step forward for oat cuisine....

 

[The Ace]

They have to be kidding.

Mmm - I'm looking forward to Asti di Haggis 2025.

They have to be kidding.

They aren't. The owners of the Champagne vinyards bought up a lot of land in Dover because it has the same kind of soil but a slightly cooler average temperature, which will be needed to grow the right flavor range of grapes if France continues to warm up.

I heard a program with interviews with agronomists and scientists from many different countries - there was some sort of international symposium on the future directions of agriculture. Yes, the French scientists there mentioned the changes that have already taken place in France, and that some vintners are planning for the move...watch out Pommies, the Normans could be at it again.

 

[Drachir]

OK - I'm going to start buying land around here to take advantage of the California vintners that will no doubt show up any day now. The fact that I live in an area that borders on the subarctic shouldn't be a problem.

Only problem being that if some are proved correct, Dover would be underwater.

It's when Jamaica gets worried because the best malibu will come from these shores instead that it's time to celebrate climate change ;-)
