"Large progress has been made in the past few years towards quantifying and understanding climate variability during past centuries. At the same time, present-day climate has been studied using state-of-the-art data sets and tools with respect to the physical and chemical mechanisms governing climate variability. Both the understanding of the past and the knowledge of the processes are important for assessing and attributing the anthropo ..."

"In 1890, Eduard Bruckner, a leading climate scientist in his time, published a book entitled "Klima-Schwankungen seit 1700" (Climatic changes since 1700). In this landmark publication, Bruckner studied past climate based on historical observations and indirect evidence (proxies). He argued for multi decadal climatic changes, against the prevalent conception of a stable climate - a thoroughly modern perspective. Bruckner also explicitly ..."
