Celtic Green to Celtic Brown by 2050? Heat is on, in Ireland.

Ireland to experience huge temperature rises, says expert - Science News | Daily News from The Irish Times - Fri, Aug 16, 2013: "Ireland will experience “huge increases” in temperatures over this century, according to a leading Irish expert on climate change. Average Irish August temperatures are projected to have increased by “two to three degrees Celsius by 2050, and by six to seven degrees Celsius by 2100”, according to Prof Colin O’Dowd, director of NUI Galway’s centre for climate and air pollution studies. The rises predicted are significantly higher than most current forecasts.
His warning comes as new research published yesterday by German scientists shows climate change will trigger more frequent and severe heatwaves in the next 30 years regardless of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit into the atmosphere.

Dramatic changes
The study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, predicts dramatic changes as soon as 2020."
