This is a nonsense article, despite quotes from a ‘leading’ climatologist. I put more faith in what I know – if Ireland has two wet summers in a row, the next one is going to be a warm ‘dry-ish’ one. We actually had three wet past summers, so this lovely one we’re having is overdue. BTW – when our TV weather people are giving their spiel, waving their arms all over maps of Ireland and Europe, I look over their shoulders towards the USA and see what’s developing there. That’s where our near-future weather can be gauged from. Today is a warm, sunny, slightly showery day but with stormy winds – the left over from Hurricane Alex.
Searlit: "It is global warming. Everyone should be supporting the efforts of green energy technologists around the world. We have to stop using fossil fuels, chemical fertilizers and GMO seeds." All very good advise. Except for the global worming part, which will do nothing, ever, to help the situation. Global warming: the weather. Global worming: g'ment claiming it can do something about the weather ... and raise taxes to do it.
68 whole degrees. My ice cream is 68 degrees. But seriously, I would sure miss those green fields and wet hillsides and all the beautiful rain and rainbows. Just the other day my wife asked did I see the rainbow and I said I'll see all kinds of rainbows in Ireland in September. Maybe not?
It is global warming. Everyone should be supporting the efforts of green energy technologists around the world. We have to stop using fossil fuels, chemical fertilizers and GMO seeds.
Al Gore has a little more to worry about theses days the global warming. Another pol that can't keep it in his pants, allegedly of course.
I see still the idiot comments about Al Gore and Global warming. If the Greenland ice cap continues to melt away there is a strong possibility that the Gulf Stream will cease flowing. If that happens Ireland could turn into an ice box despite global warming. With no Gulf Steam Irish heat waves in the future would be temps in the 40's F.
Oh man, If only our summers here would have just a high of 68 degrees farenheight, I live in Boston, USA, what great summer weather that would be.
All questions should be forwarded to the Nobel Prize winning immoral despot Al Gore.....he knows it all.
