Ireland set to get warmer, wetter, and windier

Europe is warming faster than the global average due to climate change, with Ireland expected to get wetter and windier in the coming decades.

While the pace of climate change increases, the effects appear to be worse than expected, according to a report that compiles the findings of some of the world’s biggest institutions, including the World Bank, the IMF, the UN, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Northern Europe is warming at the fastest pace followed by Central Europe and then the south, and all much faster than the global average, according to the report compiled by Climate Action Network Europe, the largest coalition of organisations working on climate change in the EU.
