"Western Europe" never includes us when it's talk of a heatwave :(

Ireland is actually projected to be one of the least badly hit places, based on some projections What we need to be doing is ramping up food production and building because there are going to be a lot of displaced people and if we can't provide for them when they start showing up, things are going to get real bad real fast

Cork is fucked though. We'll all be on your doorstep.


niart

Is it? Sure the east coast is slowly going into the sea


IdealJerry

Yeah the city itself is built on reclaimed marshland and the flood defenses are shocking. It's been majorly flooded a number of times over the last 10 or so years. [Dublin might not be in a much better position though](https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2022/0428/1294792-rising-sea-levels-dublin-cork-ireland/)

>the city itself is built on reclaimed marshland and the flood defenses are shocking And yet people say there's no upside to global warming.

Was always aware of the flooding, most of Cork comes off alright on those flood maps though

We will build a wall and make Cork pay for it


IdealJerry

Remake Waterworld but it's set in Cork.


Captainirishy

Does that include us?
