[Horn]

Freezing temperatures threaten wine and fruit harvest in Central Europe. Over 90 percent loss of apples in Germany.Parts of Central and Eastern Europe have been hit by more than 30 centimeters (one foot) of snow in recent days.

Many German and Swiss winemakers are struggling to save their crops from freezing.German orchard owner Herbert Sailer says that more than 90 percent of his crop is lost.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, says.Some of his colleagues are trying to encapsulate fruit tree buds in ice, while others use helicopters to prevent the cold air from lying in the fields.

Damn shame. My trees get the buds frozen about one out of 3 years. I see people often plant apples on hillsides and I presumed this was to keep the air moving. On the low flat ground, the cold air likes to form pockets and freeze the hell out of crops. I'll bet those farmers are wishing for a little global warming right now.

climate change implementation is a good way to address a bubble too and replace central bank actions.. here comes inflation.. wine is going to be very expensive this year.
