Agreed, Ludwig. I suppose we haven't been around long enough not to contemplate change.

'Sweden is, like Australia, experiencing the effects of an upward trend in temperatures '

Could we please have some untampered tempature graphs instead of ridiculous statements with no scientific basis.

Poor dear runner, still stuck in denial, do some research for once, try the IPCC, it's got plenty of scientific evidence of warming. And its good to hear President elect, Obama, with his thoughts:

US President-elect Barack Obama says he will "engage vigorously" in global climate change talks and denial is no longer an acceptable response to global warming.
"Now is the time to confront this challenge once and for all. Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response. The stakes are too high. The consequences, too serious."

I guess the author is right in much of what he says - if he considers Sweden in isolation from the rest of the world.

Their customers may have more important matters to occupy them than looking forward to their next glass of Swedish Merlot.

Also a rise in temperature may also be accompanied by other associated weather events, such as hurricanes, or the migratory patterns of schools of herring.

Every silver lining has a cloud.

Ludwig - I understand your concern, these are all unknown things you are worried about, people throughout history have been worried about what is the future going to hold - there have always been doomsday scenarios, seriously.

All I can offer is this .. it might never happen.
