Reply to comment by Awkward_moments in Large parts of Europe are warming twice as fast as the planet on average. As a consequence of human emissions of greenhouse gases, the climate across the continent has also become drier, particularly in southern Europe, leading to worse heat waves and an increased risk of fires. by MistWeaver80
I don't think you want your land slipping into the atlantic.
Oregon used to have regular, year round rain. Now we have two seasons, torrentialrain and droughtfire. Our land gets parched and then washes away. It's not good.

Most of it is very recent. I don't know if I'd compare Portland to Cardiff as Portland is inland a bit and it is naturally a little less wet than the coast- a more apt comparison would be to Astoria or Seaside since they are coastal towns. But I can say that our driest months have gotten much drier in the last 15 years.
