Description

There is actual climate change. There is little doubt that a sizable portion of the world's population will be significantly impacted by global warming. Scientific forecasts of hunger, mass migration, and the breakdown and collapse of cities are accurate since history is replete with instances when these events have occurred. In his book Climate Change and the Shaping of History, renowned historian Peter Frankopan explores how environmental change has impacted our globe, including the fall of the Ming dynasty in China, the rise of Viking civilisation, and the demise of Angkor. He investigates how language and religion can be linked to climate change, covering everything from the dawn of history to the present. Demonstrates that contemporary concerns about pollution, damage and altering climatic patterns are nothing new; rather, they follow in a long tradition of humankind?s efforts to make sense of and live within the natural world. By turns revolutionary and revelatory, invigorating and incisive, Climate Change and the Making of History is a manifesto for human action, rooted in the lessons offered up by our past.
