Global Warming -- Hitting Wine and Beer Drinkers Where It Really Hurts

In my judgment, lot of people realize that global warming is happening. But it seems that a sense of fatalism has set in, thinking that what can I do about it or they do not prioritize it as one of the important things to worry about. The threat of global warming come in small increments and is not of immediate consequence to them. However, the drum beat of the impending environmental crisis that could follow has to be done at the grass roots level to get more people to think about the seriousness of the situation and act upon it in some deliberate manner. Unless people make noises the policy makers would continue the bidding of the vested interests in such matters............. I can relate to the quality of wine not being good because of warming climatic trends. A friend of mine has been dabbling in wine making for several years and a group of us been helping him through the processes of wine making. We get to see the quality of wine coming out each year based upon the quality of the grape that is available each year. The wine taste, flavor and quality it seems is affected by the climate...... So the quality of wine is but one more thing to add to a host of other things that climate change is impacting on our quality of life. I wish the crusade by GREENWALAS become such a strong VOICE OF CHANGE that the masses would begin to make serious efforts to effect some changes in their personal life styles and help the policy makers realize the importance of proactive action in the areas of environmental policies/consciousness. We all got to get serious about our own life styles and minimize our carbon foot prints.
