Dear Climate-L readers, science is responding in manifold ways to climate change. Stefan Brönnimann and Gertrude Hirsch Hadorn discuss in their open access article _Lessons for Science from the _Year without a Summer_ of 1816: What Does It Take for Science to Respond to Climatic Change?_, whether studying historical climatic events could help to respond to current climatic change. What are the prerequisites for response, and how can we structure the response? By studying the _Year without a Summer_of 1816 and by relating to Fleck’s theory of the genesis and development of a scientific fact, the authors posit that responding refers to making interlinkages between different notions of climatic change.
