Global warming and the future of the climate is one of the greatest
challenges of our time, but what do we know about climate
variations 500 years ago, or 5000 years ago? How can we know
anything at all about the history of weather? What impact have
climate changes had on human prosperity and the spirit of
invention?
In this major new book Wolfgang Behringer introduces us to the
latest historical research on the development of the earth's
climate. He focuses above all on the cultural reactions to climate
change through the ages, showing how even minor changes in the
climate sometimes resulted in major social, political and religious
upheavals. By examining how our predecessors responded to climate
changes, Behringer provides us with a fresh basis for thinking
about how we might address the serious climatic challenges we face
today.
