shifts, but, before I embark on that, let me provide a historical context We tend to think of climate - as opposed to weather - as something unchanging, yet humanity has been at the mercy of climate change for its entire existence, with at least eight glacial episodes in the past 730,000 years Our ancestors adapted to the universal but irregular global warming since the end of the last great Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, with dazzling opportunism They developed strategies for surviving harsh drought cycles, decades of heavy rainfall or unaccustomed cold; adopted agriculture and stock-raising, which revolutionised human life; and founded the world's first pre-industrial civilisations in Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Americas But the price of sudden climate change, in famine, disease and suffering, was often high B The Little Ice Age lasted from roughly 1300 until the middle of the nineteenth century Only two centuries ago, Europe experienced a cycle of bitterly cold winters; mountain glaciers in the Swiss Alps were the lowest in recorded memory, and pack ice surrounded Iceland for much of the year The climatic events of the Little Ice Age did more than help shape the modern world They are the deeply important context for the current unprecedented global warming The Little Ice Age was far from a deep freeze, however; rather an irregular seesaw of rapid climatic shifts, few lasting more than a quarter-century, driven by complex and still little understood interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean The seesaw brought cycles of intensely cold winters and easterly winds, then switched abruptly to years of heavy spring and early summer rains, mild winters, and frequent Atlantic storms, or to periods of droughts, light northeasterly winds, and summer heat waves C Reconstructing the climate changes of the past is extremely difficult, because systematic weather observations began only a few centuries ago, in Europe and North America Records from India and tropical Africa are even more recent For the time before records began, we have only 'proxy records' reconstructed largely from tree rings and ice cores, supplemented by a few incomplete written accounts We now have hundreds of tree-ring records from throughout the northern hemisphere, and many from south of the equator, too, amplified with a growing body of temperature data from ice cores drilled in Antarctica, Greenland, the Peruvian Andes, and other locations We are close to a knowledge of annual summer and winter temperature variations over much of the northern hemisphere going back 600 years This book is a narrative history of climatic shifts during the past ten centuries, and some of the ways in which people in Europe adapted to them Part One describes the Medieval Warm Period, roughly 900 to 1200 During these three centuries, Norse voyagers from Northern Europe explored northern seas, settled Greenland, and visited North America It was not a time of uniform warmth, for then, as always since the Great Ice Age, there were constant shifts in rainfall and temperature Mean European temperatures were about the same as today, perhaps slightly cooler It is known that the Little Ice Age cooling began in Greenland and the Arctic in about 1200 As the Arctic ice pack spread southward, Norse voyages to the west were rerouted into the open Atlantic, then ended altogether Storminess increased in the North Atlantic and North Sea Colder, much wetter weather descended on Europe between 1315 and 1319, when thousands perished in a continent-wide famine By 1400, the weather had become decidedly more unpredictable and stormier, with sudden shifts and lower temperatures that culminated in the cold decades of the late sixteenth century Fish were a vital commodity in growing towns and cities, where food supplies were a constant concern Dried cod and herring were already the staples of the European fish trade, but changes in water temperatures forced fishing fleets to work further offshore The Basques, Dutch, and English developed the first offshore fishing boats adapted to a colder and stormier Atlantic A gradual agricultural revolution in northern Europe stemmed from concerns over food supplies at a time of rising populations The revolution involved intensive commercial farming and the growing of animal fodder on land not previously used for crops The increased productivity from farmland made some countries self-sufficient in grain and livestock and offered effective protection against famine Global temperatures began to rise slowly after 1850, with the beginning of the Modern Warm Period There was a vast migration from Europe by land-hungry farmers and others, to which the famine caused by the Irish potato blight contributed, to North America, Australia, New Zealand, and southern Africa Millions of hectares of forest and woodland fell before the newcomers' axes between 1850 and 1890, as intensive European farming methods expanded across the world The unprecedented land clearance released vast quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, triggering for the first time humanly caused global warming Temperatures climbed more rapidly in the twentieth century as the use of fossil fuels proliferated and greenhouse gas levels continued to soar The rise has been even steeper since the early 1980s The Little Ice Age has given way to a new climatic regime, marked by prolonged and steady warming At the same time, extreme weather events like Category hurricanes are becoming more frequent D E F
