Before the term “climate” became irrevocably associated with the modifiers “change” and “catastrophe,” it had long circulated in the works of thinkers, from Hippocrates down to Montesquieu, as the factor that determined the character of peoples and nations. By extension, climate was understood to indicate which lands were ripe for imperial conquest, and which peoples were suited to conquering and which to being conquered. In short, the history of the discourse of climate is a deeply imperial...
