The mission of 2 Degrees Above Normal is to explore, inform and educate through documentary film and educational multimedia the consequences of global climate change using a commodity by which people can relate to both culturally and economically, wine.
Climate change is affecting the culture and economics of wine on a global scale. In this documentary film, we will seek to convey the affects of climate change on viticulture and wine production over the past 150 years predicting similar affects of climate change on wine regions worldwide over the next 50 - 100 years. What is the delicate connection between wine production and climate that makes it such a "canary in the coal mine" for studying climate change? Where and how have the changes happened, what is predicted to happen in the future and possible mitigating solutions will be examined. Affects on both the wine industry and regional cultures will be explored.
