  • Climate, peace, and conflict—past and present

    Open AccessWhite, Dominik Collet et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 69

    Concern has risen that current global warming and more frequent extreme events such as droughts and floods will increase conflict around the world. This concern has spurred both social science research on contemporary climate, peace, and conflict as well as research in the historical sciences on past climate, weather, warfare, and violence. This perspectives article compares these two fields of scholarship and examines how each may benefit the ot…

  • Les origines du stress climatique à l'échelle globale

    C PfisterARTICLEDidactica historica2021

    This article looks at the when and why of the emergence of the current climate stress due to current rapid global warming. Coal-based primary industrialization has only slowly increased the rate of CO2. On the other hand, warming has been acceleration rapidly since the 1990s as a result of the massive emission of greenhouse gases since the late 1950s, caused by the flooding of the world market with cheap oil. This has paved the way for an ecologi…

    Cet article s’interroge sur la capacité des monnaies digitales à fournir une alternative aux moyens de paiement existants. Dans ce but, il en présente les principaux mécanismes, les usages, les risques et les limites. Ces risques militent pour la mise en place d’un cadre réglementaire minimal tandis que les limites posent la question de l’émission d’une monnaie digitale de banque centrale

  • Simulating crop yield losses in Switzerland for historical and present Tambora climate scenarios

    Open AccessSimon Flückiger, Brönnimann et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Severe climatic anomalies in summer 1816, partly due to the eruption of Tambora in April 1815, contributed to delayed growth and poor harvests of important crops in Central Europe. Coinciding with adverse socio-economic conditions, this event triggered the last subsistence crisis in the western World. Here, we model reductions in potential crop yields for 1816 and 1817 and address the question, what impact a similar climatic anomaly would have to…

  • Nouvelle normale » ou « nouvelle orthodoxie »

    C Pfister, Natacha VallaARTICLERevue économique2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    L’article contraste deux approches des activités de banque centrale dans le sillage de la crise. Dans la première, dénommée « nouvelle normale », la stratégie de politique monétaire voit son domaine élargi pour s’étendre à des objectifs tels que la stabilité financière ou le plein-emploi. En outre, la cible d’inflation est relevée et les achats massifs d’actifs (AMA) sont retenus comme instrument standard de mise en œuvre de la politique monétair…

  • Did European temperatures in 1540 exceed present-day records

    Open AccessRené Orth, Martha M Vogel et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    There is strong evidence that the year 1540 was exceptionally dry and warm in Central Europe. Here we infer 1540 summer temperatures from the number of dry days (NDDs) in spring (March–May) and summer (June–August) in 1540 derived from historical documentary evidence published elsewhere, and compare our estimates with present-day temperatures. We translate the NDD values into temperature distributions using a linear relationship between modeled t…

  • European summer temperatures since Roman times

    Open AccessJürg Luterbacher, J Werner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The spatial context is criticalwhen assessing present-day climate anomalies, attributing them to potential forcings and making statements regarding their frequency and severity in a long-term perspective. Recent international initiatives have expanded the number of high-quality proxy-records and developed new statistical reconstruction methods. These advances allow more rigorous regional past temperature reconstructions and, in turn, the possibil…

    Wolfgang Behringer discovered the attraction of climate history in his path-breaking investigation on witch-hunting and weather magic during the Little Ice Age (1995). His recent publication embraces the entire history of the earth, climate and mankind, from the Big Bang to the publication of the latest IPCC report in 2007. He focuses on Central and Western Europe, where he is most familiar with the literature, with side-glimpses of the situation…

    Von 1882 bis 1976 blieb die Schweiz von Naturkatastrophen weitge hend verschont. Diese ,,Katastrophenlücke“ trug dazu bei, dass Naturrisiken unterschätzt wurden. Nach der jüngsten Häufung von Naturkatastrophen ist eine neue, professionelle Risikokultur entstanden, die auch auf Wissen früherer Generationen zurückgreift.Natural hazards and disasters were a frequent experience for many traditional communities of Western and Central Europe. Yet, in S…

  • Climatic Extremes, Recurrent Crises and Witch Hunts

    Open AccessC PfisterARTICLEThe Medieval History Journal2006Citada por: 18Referencias: 7

    In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, continental Europe north of the Alps was afflicted by a 13-year cycle of frequent cold and rainy summers which was the result of a series of volcanic explosions in the tropics. The inclement weather led to recurrent subsistence crises and to multiple floods in the Alps following from extensive glacier advances. This article discusses the relationship between ‘climate’ and ‘history’ from the e…
