pots of mold

Cue cheesy Irish music.

This just in... time for St. Patrick's Day: "Changing Shades of Green," a report published by the Irish American Climate Project in which Kevin Sweeney, director of the project argues, "The lush greens could turn to brown and the soft rains that people talk about as a blessing -- 'May the rains fall soft upon your field' -- those soft rains could turn harsh."

In short, less rain means less potatoes and brown grass. Emerald Isle "will look and feel and be different. And that's the subtlety we want to explain here. We don't want to project that this is a catastrophe. What it is, is it's heartbreaking."
