The report, which surveys Ireland’s climate over 2025, offers powerful cumulative data. The report shows clearly that Ireland’s climate is consistently warming, and that extreme events credibly attributable to this warming are becoming more frequent, and more intense. Overall, the year was the second warmest on record, with seven of the 10 warmest years having occurred since 2007. The latest review acknowledges significant advances in climate monitoring, but says that information remains fragmented, as does policy. Overall, the review paints a very troubling picture of climate change and Ireland’s response to it.
