Our changing climate shows many examples where it altered and shaped history. Climate is not a deterministic process but it does create the conditions people must adjust their lives to. This leads to societies and cultures that adapt or reflect the climatic conditions prevalent in an area. This is the case as well in Europe, where we see changing opportunities and challenges for Medieval and Early Modern European societies as climate changed.
