Wine
Warming in California’s wine country could cause a 50 percent drop in the amount of wine grapes produced by 2040. But other parts of the country are experiencing a rise in temperatures too, which means wine production could migrate instead of dying out. Warmer temperatures in regions like the Finger Lakes in upstate New York and the Puget Sound in Washington State could create new growing areas for wine grapes. Say hello to the new Napa Valley.
