Climate change may have a range of impacts in the Republic of Ireland.Increasing temperatures may change weather patterns, with the potential for increased heatwaves, rainfall and storm events, with subsequent impacts on people through flooding [1] Climate change has been assessed to be the single biggest threat to Ireland, according to the head of the Defence Forces of Ireland, Mark Mellett.
This is a timeline of Irish history, comprising important legal and territorial changes and political events in Ireland. To read about the background to these events, see History of Ireland .

According to IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, in the last 170 years, humans have caused the global temperature to increase to the highest level in the last 2,000 years. The current multi-century period is the warmest in the past 100,000 years. [ 3 ] The temperature in the years 2011-2020 was 1.09 °C higher than in 1859–1890.
This list of large-scale temperature reconstructions of the last 2,000 years includes climate reconstructions which have contributed significantly to the modern consensus on the temperature record of the past 2,000 years. The instrumental temperature record only covers the last 150 years at a hemispheric or global scale, and reconstructions of ...
A 2017 study attributed the second Weichselian Icelandic ice sheet collapse, onshore (est. net wastage 221 Gt a −1 [clarification needed] over 750 years) and similar to today's Greenland rates of mass loss, to atmospheric Bølling–Allerød warming. [28] The melting of the glaciers of Hardangerfjord began during this interstadial.
Cooler climate causes Carboniferous rainforest collapse. 251.9. Permian–Triassic extinction event. 199.6. Triassic–Jurassic extinction event, causes as yet unclear. 66. Perhaps 30,000 years of volcanic activity form the Deccan Traps in India, or a large meteor impact. 66. Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary and Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction ...
The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Little Ice Age (LIA) are the best-known temperature fluctuations in the last millennium. Critics of the "hockey stick graph" of all subsequent reports have claimed that the record of the MWP and LIA were suppressed in the IPCC Third Assessment Report although every report discussed the phenomena.
