#ClimateDiary Just listened to this moving program on French wine making and the challenges of climate change (and falling demand). I knew quite a lot about climate change impacts but it’s something else to listen to a Bordeaux winemaker talk about how she lost everything in a 15min hailstorm.
Right at end in Languedoc:
“Why do you keep going?”
“Because it’s our life”

It's been happening quite a lot over the last few years and not just wine. Loss to drought, or flooding or hail storms. It gets a lot of coverage on French news.
I might also mention that French news and weather have been talking almost daily about climate change for quite a long time too. I think deniers are becoming less and less present.
