L’innalzamento delle temperature globali verificatosi negli ultimi 200 anni è un fenomeno anomalo e preoccupante, riconducibile con elevate probabilità all’attività dell’uomo sulla terra, alle nostre abitudini e all’organizzazione delle nostre società.

Questa presentazione fornisce una panoramica sul fenomeno scientifico del surriscaldamento della terra, sulle conseguenze drammatiche di un aumento delle temperature e sui principali fattori determinanti di tale fenomeno, con l’obiettivo di chiarire concetti a volte complessi. Viene inoltre approfondito il ruolo dei governi e il recente dibattito politico in vista della Conferenza Mondiale sul Clima di Copenaghen.
