Our normally considered history relevant to climate change includes the Enlightenment, post WW2, industrialization, fossil fuels and many more. But the big breakdown is the shift from Christianity in the form of a Catholic Europe as it broke up with the Reformation, with wars, a civilization-wide drop in production, loss of population, and with many thinkers and. artists.
What we will go through and must go through to get rid of voracious capitalism (the few own the many are exploited) to a well-managed planet is of that magnitude. We will need more than a clean pair of socks.
