Climate Change: The Optimists View, Tassie to become a major wine growing region.
August 1st 2007 22:38
Forget about the downside to Global Warming, the dead Coral, the Droughts, the floods, the hurricanes, extinct animals - THERE IS GOOD NEWS - Tasmania e will become a major wine growing region.
Halt the Kyoto treaty and run down and buy all the land you can get, Tasmania is going to be the new epicentre of Australian Wine Growing, sorry all you Wine growers heavily invested elsewhere, the scientists have a different idea for your future!!!!
Give an inch and these Scientist types take a mile, seems to me like these guys are starting to love the headlines and will say just about anything to get their story heard. Mind you it is only from the ABC Website.....anyhow it made me laugh so I thought I'd share. I think they really are taking this whole predicting what the world will be like thing a little too far.
But how would I know, I am but a mere mortal not a Cool scientist with a media release button that gets me published worldwide on a whim........
Really Long Link

Climate change will boost Tas wine production: experts
Wednesday, 01/08/2007
Tasmania could become a prominent wine producing state over the next three decades as climate change takes hold.
Experts predict average temperatures to rise by three degrees over the next 30 to 50 years, which will ruin wine regions like South Africa, while the industry will expand into northern Europe and Canada.
Professor Greg Jones, from Southern Oregon University in the United States, says Australia's inland wine regions will struggle to remain viable.
"The challenge with Australia is not far off of what it is for South Africa," he said.
"Riverland, for example, is going to be challenged in the future and what we'll likely see [happen] is a definite constriction into the coastal zones environments in Australia."
