2021 will have been a terrible year for wine producers in France. It is calculated that the harvest will be the worst sine 1977, with annual production down by between 24 and 30 %. Frost in the spring and mildew later on have caused havoc for growers. Some analysts have put the problems down to climate change which is creating serious damage to weather patterns, with frosts being followed by excessive rainfall. This could be the shape of things to come. We need to do more than "just limit" global warming to 1.5 centigrade we need to get back to what was normal 50 years ago. We really need to redouble our efforts. There is more than just wine production at stake the whole of agriculture could be devastated across the world. Just buying an electric car will not solve the problem. It is now time for all humans to rethink how their activities are affecting the the planet.
There is still time left, but what would the world be like without our daily glass of wine and our daily bread?
