Issues discussed include what people have understood, experienced and feared about the climate and its changes in the past; how privileged and authoritative positions on climate have been established; the paths by which we have arrived at our current state of knowledge and apprehension; and what a study of the past has to offer to the interdisciplinary investigation of environmental problems.Oxford scholarship online.Climatic changesEuropeHistoryClimatic changesUnited StatesHistoryGlobal environmental changeHistoryClimatic changesHistory.Climatic changesHistory.Global environmental changeHistory.306.4/5Fleming James Rodger1692244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821308903321Historical perspectives on climate change4069175UNINA
