60 minutes special wine episode

I understand they wanted to do a climate change episode.

But, there is a pandemic and famine may soon occur in many countries. There is a major war in Europe.
Their focus for an entire special episode of 60 minutes was how climate change affects WINE.

Seemed a bit out of touch. Why not how many people will probably be starving from climate change.

I guess I should be happy they dedicated a full hour to climate change even though it was all wine focused.

Just a rant. I'm done now.

Their supplies of French wines appears to be in danger, so they might start putting efforts into global climate change, if just to protect their luxuries.

Eventually, even the rich and brainless will feel the pain.

As always, the poor will be hit the hardest first, but the interesting thing about that is, the poor serve the rich. And when the poor get hit so hard that it interferes with them doing their jobs, then the rich will feel it.

And MAYBE the rich will get off their sorry pampered asses and do something but don’t hold your breath on that
