Over the past few years, Ireland has experienced some dramatic weather events: the heatwave of the Summer; the snows of Storm Emma; the winds of Storm Ophelia.
There is an argument that these events are influenced by what’s happening with the Greenland Ice Cap. Liam O’Brien travelled there to meet two scientists who push 100ft poles into the ice and who spoke to him of ‘dark snow’ and the ‘drunken jetstream’.
