      In ten years, the conditions would be getting a little worse than they are now. In Ireland, that means slightly stronger storms, hotter wetter summers, warmer wetter winters. These difficulties would build really slowly, but I reckon you’ll be thinking to yourself in ten years time “Geez, we never had weather this crazy when I was young”.

    Not that much different from now except that weather will be more unpredictable but in fifty years things will change a lot like you might not be able to grow food in southern Europe because it will be too hot and some cities and towns on the coast might be too flooded to live in them, especially a problem for countries like India and Bangladesh where millions of people live only a few metres above sea level and next to some of the biggest deltas(where rivers meet the sea) in the world.
