SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cali. – It’s harvest time on California’s Central Coast and winemaker Jean-Pierre Wolff has seen a big drop in production since last year. “This year, the harvest is below average,” he said. “Some of my older vines did suffer from salt toxicity and have been steadily declining.” Wolff owns and operates the award-winning Wolff Vineyards. He says climate change is affecting his grapes and that he has the records to prove it. “Absolutely, I have my lab book where I describe extensively the harvest and the sugar levels of the grapes,” he said. “So, definitely I see these changes.” Wolff says the changes are linked to extreme weather like longer droughts, hotter summers and milder winters. “I’ve been farming here for 20 years,” he said. “Years ago, I didn’t have to worry about sunburns on my grapes, now I do.” Less rain means more reliance on irrigation, which Wolff says is cutting into his and other wineries’ bottom lines. “If you take the Central Coast, which is defined from the Bay Area to Ventura County, 86% of the water use is from ground water extraction,” he said. “So clearly, that’s not sustainable if we have to offset.” At nearby California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, they have a growing viticulture program. Cal Poly professor Federico Casassa, Ph.D. says climate change is altering wine agriculture across the world. “Heatwaves are extremely pervasive not just in California but in Australia, in South America, and increasingly in Europe as well,” he said. Despite the impact, Casassa says climate change doesn’t mean doomsday for the wine industry. “My point is global warming and climate change are a reality,” he said. “But the effect that we see on grapes is not only due to global warming, it’s due to the fact that we grow better grapes." Now, Casassa is teaching better and more sustainable practices to viticulture students saying sustainability is not a destination but rather a journey. "Climate change is here and global warming is part of climate change,” he said. “But we are going to adapt.” Adapting, just like Wolff is doing. “I’m sort of here trying to beat the clock so to speak,” he said. To help protect his harvest, Wolff is now replanting a big portion of his vineyard and watering them with a new type of subsurface irrigation. “Instead of irrigating above ground through this drip line I connect with a little spaghetti hose and this pipe goes 3 feet below ground to the root zone,” he said. And while he might not be able to change the climate, Wolff does plan on changing his practices. 2608

WINNETKA, Ill. – Nearly 27 million American adults have low vision or blindness. As baby boomers age, experts expect a major one in three will experience vision loss, a condition linked to depression. It’s a tough transition leaving many in despair. In recent years, Illinois resident Richard Englund’s vision began fading. “It's a whole new world. You know that you're dealing with something you've never dealt with before,” said Englund. Diagnosed with macular degeneration at 47, the world he knew lost focus. He is now legally blind. “The worst thing that you've finally come to terms with is you can't drive anymore,” said Englund. For Angie, a retired nurse, a third failed corneal transplant meant losing her sight but not her sense of humor. “Not being able to see faces. I mean right now all you guys look like Brad Pitt,” said Angie. But it took time for her to come to terms with it. “I felt like I was walking dead,” said Angie. “Somebody hit me in the stomach and it just was wrong.” Loss of mobility and independence is difficult and statistically, people with visual impairment or blindness have a 200 percent increase in the risk of clinical depression. As baby boomers age, the number of Americans with low vision is expected to skyrocket from 2.9 million in 2010 to 5 million in 2030. The key, say public health officials, is to reach out for help early. For the last century, Hadley, a non-profit organization has assisted with the scary transition of losing sight. “We basically teach people how to continue to live their lives,” said Julie Tye, Hadley’s executive director. Hadley is providing online resources, support and in-person consultation. All of it is free of cost. “Maybe it's something as simple as contrast, maybe it's something as simple as using their smartphone to magnify what they're reading,” said Tye. Englund says relearning independence is tough at any age, but not impossible. “I am not going to let the fact that I can't see keep me from doing anything. I can do anything as long as I put my mind to it,” he said. Angie insists it’s just another phase of life. “You realize that you go on, you know, it's another journey you're on. You're going to do better, because you have to.” 2243

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump on allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress following an entire day of debate on the House floor. The House Rules Committee adopted guidelines Tuesday that spelled out how the vote went down. Under those rules, Democrats and Republicans had six hours to debate the impeachment articles. The time was split evenly between the two parties. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi opened the debate by accusing Trump of violating the Constitution and urging members to honor their oath of office. "It is tragic that the president's reckless actions make impeachment necessary,” said Pelosi. “He gives us no choice."The debate was controlled by Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) and Doug Collins (Ga.), the top Democrat and Republican members of the Judiciary Committee.Watch Part 1: 914
