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.Climate
change was at the heart of fundamental debates about colonisation,
God, the state, nature, and capitalism. From these intellectual and
political battles emerged key concepts of contemporary
environmental science and policy. For a brief interlude, science
and industry instilled in us the reassuring illusion of an
impassive climate.But, in the age of global warming, we must, once
again, confront the chaos in the heavens.
