A Warmer Ireland

cesc77

So,if we had a warmer climate for most of the year what would be the benefits?

Im against warmer climes as we would have an influx of larger,crawly flying things:mad:

I think we are quite lucky living in a country where we dont have the extremes that others have to deal with.

The amount of skin on show would be another negative.Over here we dont really have a healthy,fitness attitude to life,so the bodies on show are pretty brutal:p

Skin cancer would go through the roof.

Any other ideas why we should be happy with what we have and not crave Cali weather?

Ice melts quicker in warm weather. Also ducks can overheat.

Milk goes off quicker.

Well I wouldn't be looking for really warm weather but just drier. Sure, this climate isn't extreme but it's pretty ****ing wet!

Mr. Rager

Because the stats on it would be made by the same wonky scientists that the statement came from- tidy.

Wonky science= Wonky Stats.

Pale skin.

Sunshine.

Irish.

Common sense.

Australia has always(ish)been warm yet they are constantly trying to get their people to cover up in order to combat the risk of skin cancer

Honestly you can put that down to the bad weather. I've enjoyed running while we had a little fine weather.
Rain and bleak, grey misery everyday doesn't encourage outdoor pursuits, and if the weather was good more people would want to show themselves off, which would be added encouragment to lead healthier lifestyles or at least retain a respectable shape.

That, and its bollocks. Go out on any given Saturday night and the jaw will be dropping off you.

in reality a lot more outdoors drinking.

Apparently the emphasis on skin protection in Australia has gone too far and there is quite a problem with vitamin D depletion.

That's a novelty in fairness and not that much alcohol gets consumed in the sun when compared to nights out - that's where the real binging happens.
If we had better weather year round you wouldn't see quite so much drinking outside as it wouldn't be such a freaking big deal.
I had a good time having a few beers outside too. I wasn't falling around the place or drinking excessively and no one else was save the same handful of tramps you'd get anywhere.

Overall, some extra sunshine would be better for our health.

I never get these comments here on Boards. The amount of girls I know who are real hot is crazy. I'm not being mean but I reckon its the type of girls the type of user on Boards hangs around with is the reason for this view of Irish women on here.

Shryke

I think you should go off and listen to Justin beiber with your kiddy friends and not insult friends of people you don't know.

There is no if.

We have a measurably warmer and wetter climate.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0531/1224316989477.html

IRELAND’S AVERAGE temperatures have risen by 0.75 degrees over the last two decades, new Met Éireann figures indicate.

The rise has been described as “significant” and in line with projections of a 3-6 degree increase in world temperatures by the end of the century.
...
The Irish climate is also getting wetter. Valentia Observatory in Co Kerry recorded the equivalent of a month’s extra rainfall in the 30-year period between 1981 and 2010 compared to the equivalent period between 1961 and 1990.

The west of Ireland is on average 8 per cent wetter than it was in the previous 30-year period.

It will come as no surprise, given the wet summers of recent years, that the average increase in rainfall in July across the country is 15 per cent, a figure which Met Éireann senior climatologist Séamus Walsh described as the “most surprising” of all to emerge from the new data.

during warm spells i switch to skimmed milk.... it keeps much longer than low fat or full fat milk does.
