Thinking that making a plethora of fundamental ontologies can address or even touch upon the issues of climate change is most probably the most puerile of all philosophical misadventures.

Does it not make sense to try and understand and propose solutions to climate change through the perspective of, say, historical materialism or determinism? This may be a very naive question, I am not a philosopher.

Determinism or for that matter historical materialism are not fundamental ontologies, the latter is an epistemic postulate derived from the logic of history as shaped by material processes which require human's historical self-consciousness.

But I agree that both doctrines can be ontologically hypostatized, yet that's when we are in the business of a metaphysics that is no longer scientific, either in Marx's sense of history or in the sense of how sciences distinguish causal factors.

In what sense? I think of one of the greatest texts that clears the fog around this concept is Grünbaum's.
