目前有大量的古气候技术能够提供人类历史上几乎任何时期气候的广泛背景信息。存在一套气候理论，使气候数据的相互核对和相互关联成为可能，以及可应用于人与气候关系的一系列生态学原理。有迹象表明，在不久的将来，研究将提供在时间和地点上更加具体的气候数据，尽管可能永远不会提供仪器记录的细节。几个会议和研讨会现在扩大了历史学家和古气候学家之间的对话。当历史学家学会利用气候学家可以提供的东西，气候学家将他们的努力集中在特别感兴趣的地区和时间，而不是基本上是机会目标的数据集和地点上时，可能会出现一种新的合作，这将有助于回答人类历史的原因以及是什么。
There is a body of paleoclimatic techniques capable at present of producing broad background information on the climates of almost any period in the history of man. A body of climatic theory exists that makes the cross-checking and inter-relating of climatic data possible as well as a collection of ecological principles which can be applied to the man-climate relationship. There are indications that research in the near future will provide climatic data which are much more specific in time and place although probably never with the detail of an instrumental record. Several conferences and workshops have now expanded the dialogue between historians and paleoclimatologists. When historians learn to use what the climatologists can provide, and the climatologists focus their efforts on areas and times of particular interest rather than on data sets and places which are basically targets of opportunity a new collaboration may emerge that will help to answer the why as well as the what of human history.
