A 6-year long drought in Australia, which many believe is a result of climate change and a sign of patterns to come, has led many farmers in the country to turn from growing rice to growing grapes for wine, as grapevines require much less water.

Hence, while we are collectively meeting our demise from starvation / violence due to food or fuel shortage / drowning as water levels rise / dying in some horrific weather event, at least we can be wasted in the process.
