The Heat is On
Today's NY Times has an article about disappearing arctic ice that includes a really shocking map of ice coverage in recent years. Meanwhile, the latest edition of National Geographic contains a graphic suggesting that we may be in for a pretty rough ride regardless of what we do at this point. Nonetheless, the same issue contains temperature and precipitation maps that have a clear implication: major wine producing areas will likely be threatened by climactic (where Pinot is involved, my mind can sometimes get away from me) climate change.
Time to panic.
Update: This and this provide some indication of just how bad it has gotten around here recently.

Hmm, this is pretty horrid. Do you realise what this means? We may be sentenced to drinking California Chards from now on, or even worse, Merlot!

At what point do we contemplate the nuclear option?: switching to beer.
Yeah, right. Not as long as there's whiskey left in Ireland, Scotland or Deliverance country, Boyo.
