France Declares Emergency as Freak Cold Wipes Out €2 Billion Worth of Wine Crop
April 18, 2021 by Robert

 
Trying to save French wine crop – Credit Official du Gouvernement – France

16 April 2021 – An estimated €2 billion-worth (almost 2.4 billion US dollars) of production has been lost to a freak “cold snap” killed them off. That came after the industry lost €1 billion in exports last year due to COVID-19. (I hate it when the media labels such an historic and devastating freeze a “cold snap.”)

    French Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie hyper

    bolically described the crisis as “probably the greatest agricultural catastrophe of the beginning of the 21st century” this week, and the government declared an “agricultural emergency”.

Well, here it is - proof.  Global warmists have been telling us for some time that cold weather causes global warming.  I tried an experiment where I put frozen water on a stove in a container then turned on the burner expecting to see ice thickening.  To my dismay, the warm was actually more powerful than the cold and the ice melted.  You can imagine how  crushed I was.  I feared that someone would say that cold isn't created by warm.  But here it is, the proof I needed!  The warmth in the Sahara caused the cold that just slapped France in the face.  I told the person who told me that I wouldn't use his name to tell the story of how Saharan heat causes cold weather in France. :silly:

Les francaises may want to try California or Australia wines for a while.

Couldn't care less, as long as Hungary's Tokaj wine region is safe I'm A-OK.

No doubt I have... But I really cannot remember the last time I had store-bought wine.

You may need to reconnect with Jeremiah the bull frog!
 Was a good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine And he always had some mighty fine wine......

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed long haired leaping gnome
Should be the star behind a Hollywood movie, hmm
There I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high by the mountain tops
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said...
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said
Take the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! Yeah!
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Take that pearl!

Thanks, I'm gonna mark this day on my calendar  :silly::beer:

That's one of those songs that just stuck with me, another was Momma Told Me Not To Come.

I still crack up thinking about one time when I had my mom in the car and it came on the radio after it was over she said "Momma was Right", she didn't know from rock and roll having been raised in Hungary on classical music.
