SPELLING ERRORS INCREASE DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

Shock report form MSNBC

"Climate change could devistate wine industry
Study says area for grapes could reduce by half by century's end"


WASHINGTON - Climate warming could have a devastating effect on America’s multibillion dollar wine industry.
Areas in the United States suitable for growing grapes for premium wines could be reduced by 50 percent, and possibly as much as 81 percent, by the end of this century, according to a study appearing Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The primary problem will be an increase in the frequency of extremely hot days, Noah Diffenbaugh of the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Purdue University, said in a telephone interview.
