Flooding will worsen in the future, say experts

YOU think this summer was bad – just wait to see what the future has in store.

“All the projections of computer models are saying that it will get worse one way or another,” said Pat Finnigan, a climate change expert with the NGO coalition Earth Summit Ireland.
