I think that there is no such thing as lessons to be drawn from history. However, at the same time, I am convinced that learning (and teaching) history is the best antidote to fatalism. And this most certainly applies to climate change and the world we live in.

In the Western world, one generation benefited from the welfare and consumer society during the 'Glorious Thirties', another from 'acquired rights': a great success of GDP growth, unfortunately at the cost of the depreciation of the natural capital of the Earth. It is time to correct this through sobriety and sharing in order to offer hope and potential to future generations.
