El cambio climático es el mayor reto de la humanidad en el siglo XXI, pero... ¿entendemos qué implica realmente? Tomar conciencia de ello es poner en cuestión lo que sabemos y pensamos. Es hablar de cambio y de incertidumbre. Esta obra parte de la preocupación por el calentamiento global y los impactos que tendrá en nuestro día a día, pero también del hecho de que el conocimiento que tenemos es fragmentario, parcial y a menudo incorrecto. Es necesario que nos informemos y hablemos abiertamente: nos falta debate sobre el clima. Este libro nos ayuda a entender cómo se está transformando el mundo y cuál es nuestro papel en el cambio, al mismo tiempo que nos ofrece las múltiples soluciones que tenemos al alcance. Y lo hace combinando un mensaje esperanzador con advertencias realistas para que se impulsen acciones. Porque aún no es tarde y un mundo mejor no es solo posible, sino imparable.
