Sometimes the dissemination intention is shipwrecked. It may be due to a masochistic taste for deaf ears to what the receiver of any message dislikes. Or perhaps it is a matter of that strange and delusional interested bias that turns the world into what our terminals transmit to us, knowing our tastes and trends. Reality to the point of doneness for everyone. The great falsehood already addressed in recent books such as that of the Fake News by David Alandete.
But on the issue of climate change, this reconversion of the world towards absolute personal subjectivity turns sinister. Hence, leading scientists on the subject such as kitcher y Basement, in addition to great thinkers on many other aspects, invite us to an exercise in dissecting reality from a book that is practically in dialogue that seems to seek the reader's impressions, edges, extremes or details necessary to approach with a return to critical thinking towards the discovery of the starkest reality that awaits us in a world we inhabit and that may be anticipating our end due to inappropriate uses.
The triviality with which we treat the change of configuration of the seasons reaches the extreme of opportunism in which we enchantedly watch how we can go to the beach on a winter day. And if it weren't so creepy, it would be laughable to think that on that paradoxical winter day with a parasol and potato omelette, there is an apocalypse made at home, tailor-made by ourselves for future generations of our civilization or for ourselves with a little patience ...
The seasons are diluted, they are denatured. The poles gain temperature and lose ice, then the waters rise. Before all this, this book of two main fictional characters extracted from our harshest reality recover the dissertation with a critical sense, with awareness of what is coming our way. Of course, these are two small voices in the face of interests dominated by that human ambition made gambling and perdition, two opinions that we read amid the noise of large capitals that insert their slogans of happiness until the very day of the final judgment.
The situation is tricky. And like in the movies, only scientists can try to change the path to catastrophe. Only this time they, those connoisseurs of black omens that not even the best science could stop, are transformed into common thinkers. We are faced with characters who, throughout six dialogues very easily recognizable by any reader, expose opposing opinions from which magical syntheses can be extracted. Philosophy, abandoned in schools in favor of more pragmatic studies for our day, brings that glow of human wisdom. Thinking and exposing is doing philosophy in any of its aspects. And the only possibility of salvation that we have is to reconcile the best that we have, to synthesize as it happens in this book. Unite pragmatism and philosophy so that our world remains livable.
A book on the fundamentals of climate change kindly introduced to finally understand that climate change is a drift towards a final judgment.
