“…That is, that already in the 19 th century an early kind of environmental consciousness was developing in France. As stressed by Ford, this consciousness was by no means an exclusive feature of naturalists and scientists, but a much broader phenomenon, "a number of initiatives were launched in both metropolitan and colonial France, which reflected a new environmental awareness that came to be expressed by government officials, politicians, writers, painters, and, most significantly, by the public or civil society at large" (Fressoz and Bonneuil, 2013: 95;Ford, 2016: 2). 7 Both Ford, and Bonneuil and Fressoz thus cast doubt on the wide-spread notion that the modern environmental awareness awoke only in the 1960s.…”

Climate, weather, and water in history

This essay integrates the largely separate trajectories of climate and water histories, their distinct historiographies, and their different methods and expertise. Informed by the human-nature insights of environmental history and historical geography, this paper identifies four intersections between histories of climate and water: first, conceptualizations of the climate and hydrological systems; second, adaptations to climate and hydrological variability and change; third, weather control; and finally, water over time. These particular intersections shed light on shared concerns for human relations to water and climate across different spatial and temporal scales; the development and function of networks of environmental knowledge; the formation and impact of environmental imaginaries; and the emergence of particular cultures of risk and resilience. The English-language histories of climate and water to which I refer pertain largely to the study of the 19th and 20th centuries in relation to the spread of European and North American empires. Histories of water, I argue, offer more personal and localized insights into histories of climate and climate change.
