| Zusammenfassung: | Introduction : ten theses on climate change -- Christopher Columbus's true discovery -- Improving the world? -- The climate of history -- The birth of historical climatology -- An arsenal in the Indian Ocean -- The climate of the revolution -- Climate patriotism -- In the shadow of the volcano -- Should the national forests be sold? -- The crusades of François-Antoine Rauch -- Circular no. 18 : an inquiry into climate change from two -- The power of forests -- The horizon clears -- The enigmas of the climatic past -- Restoring the world, governing empires -- The innocent carbon of the nineteenth century. "Nothing could seem more contemporary than climate change. Yet, in Chaos in the Heavens, Jean-Baptiste Fressoz and Fabien Locher show that we have been thinking about and debating the consequences of our actions upon the environment for centuries. The subject was raised wherever history accelerated: by the Conquistadors in the New World, by the French revolutionaries of 1789, by the scientists and politicians of the nineteenth century, by the European imperialists in Asia and Africa until the Second World War"-- POLITICIANS AND SCIENTISTS HAVE DEBATED CLIMATE CHANGE FOR CENTURIES IN TIMES OF RAPID CHANGE |
