DESCRIPTION:With some thoughts on the usefulness of climate history\n\nOur
  two principal sources of climate variability over the past millennium and
  beyond are proxy-based reconstructions and model simulations. Though the 
 two share broad agreement\, model simulations typically possess less cente
 nnial-scale variability than reconstructions. I will provide an overview o
 f the discrepancies between temperature and hydroclimate reconstructions\,
  and last millennium simulations of the same two parameters\, and discuss 
 how the differences might be reconciled. Lastly\, I will give a few exampl
 es in the usefulness of climate history to understand both ongoing climate
  change and past human history.\n\nDr. Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist is a
  Swedish historian and palaeoclimatologist from Stockholm University and i
 s at present Visiting Researcher at the Department of Geography\, Universi
 ty of Cambridge.
