A “few”effects climate change has on the R.O.Ireland

 

Much like the rest of the British isles the amount of precipitation will change in winter and summer, the temperature will increase by 1.5-2°C on average by 2080 sea temperatures will increase by 2°C which will cause more frequent and powerful storms, changes to the type of crops used and other agricultural practices such as crop rotations due to changes in acidity of soil and precipitation. This increase in precipitation will also cause rivers to flood potentially causing damage to farming and housing, especially in areas where this is now uncommon.
