Crazy Weather
Then came 2010. A year that Bill Blatch, author of the annual Bordeaux vintage report,
described as one where globally the "weather went crazy". Gregory V. Jones, from the
department of environmental studies at Southern Oregon University in the U.S., says that
globally 2010 was the warmest year on record for the northern hemisphere and the sixth
warmest year on record for the southern hemisphere. In March, he told delegates at the third
world conference on climate change and wine in Marbella, Spain: "In 2010, Eastern Australia
saw the prolonged 10 year drought broken but it has ushered in one of the wettest years,
bringing floods and heavy disease pressure. Meanwhile, Western Australia has experienced one
of the hottest and driest summers on record."
