Philipp Blom
BlomCast
The BlomCast looks at turning points in history, which have always fascinated me. My name is Philipp Blom, I am a historian and broadcaster and author of many books about the Enlightenment, the story of modernity and climate history. The climate catastrophe places us at the greatest historical turning point hin human history. What, if anything, can we learn from moments in the past in which a model of life seemed to change, or had to change, in which whole societies were transformed?

[03] Kleine Eiszeit III: Kleine Eiszeit und Klimakatastrophe — können wir aus der Geschichte lernen? 29.01.2023 22:18
Als die Natur sich während der Kleinen Eiszeit veränderte, mussten die Gesellschaften, die von ihr abhingen, sich anpassen. Dies schuf Gesellschaften, die unseren ähneln: urbanisiert, angewiesen auf internationale Märkte und immer stärker dominiert durch Wissenschaft und eine erstarkende Mittelschicht. Dies ist der Aufstieg des Bürgertums, der Aufklärung, des Liberalismus und des Imperialismus. So...
[03] Little Ice Age III: Little Ice Age and Climate Catastrophe — can we learn from history? 29.01.2023 22:51
As nature changed during the Little Ice Age, so did the societies depending on it. Trial and error created successful adaptations as societies learned to cope with colder climates, leading to societies that resemble our own: urbanised, relying on international markets, and increasingly on science and professionals. This is the rise of the middle class, of the Enlightenment, of liberalism, and of i...

With its long, bitter winters, rainy summers and ruined harvests, the Little Ice Age put European societies under severe pressure during the 16th and 17th centuries. Successful strategies of coping with climate change emerged slowly, but with great effects. Two different responses, from rigidity to transformation, are exemplified by the historical fates of Madrid and Amsterdam. Support the show

[01] Die Kleine Eiszeit I — Die letzte Klimakatastrophe 29.12.2022 20:20
Zwischen ca. 1570 und 1680 fielen die Temperaturen weltweit um etwa zwei Grad Celsius. Das verursachte Hungersnöte und Unruhen. Warum wurde es kälter, was passierte und wie reagierten Gesellschaften auf diese Krise, und was hat das alles mit Hexenverbrennungen zu tun? Support the show
[01] The Little Ice Age I — The Last Climate Catastrophe 29.12.2022 18:02
Between ca. 1570 and 1680, temperatures plummeted by two degrees Celsius on average, creating a vast agricultural crisis, famine, and social unrest. Why was the world plunged into winter, what happened in nature and how did societies react — and what do witch trials have to do with it all? Support the show
