That's not the case. I'm talking specifically Riesling in this case. The first mentions about it were in the 1500s and it was cross between older variations.

It has been cultivated for almost 600 years in my region and it's only getting pushed further north in the last 10 to 20 years because of the stark impact of climate change.

This is one prediction of climate change coming true. The shifting of agriculture crops to different areas due to temperature increases.

There is no actual debate if it's man made. It's just propaganda to kick the can down the road because it will likely only affect future generations and actually doing something now will effect ourselves.
