The good news about global warming and wine ...
Improvements in wine quality in the past half-century have had as much to do with global warming as with advances in winemaking and grapegrowing, according to research presented at the Geological Society of America's conference in Seattle last week.

Apparently Scotland could become a wine growing area. Speaking at a United States Geological Society conference in Seattle, Dr Jones said: "In a warmer world, Scotland could have very good wines, like Germany does today".

sorry for the flipancy, apparently we'll have to wait untill 2050 for the first good Scottish bottle of Blue Nun.
