In the countries of what used to be called the West, we have a strange notion of security. We claim it as an innate right, and we struggle to accept the idea that a certain degree of risk is inherent in human existence. And so we transform the concept of security from a philosophical and scientific calculation into a dogma of civic faith. Yet we remain blind to the greatest threat of all: that of a radical transformation that would make survival on this planet\u2014home to 8 billion human beings\u2014extremely difficult due to the increase in droughts, floods, disruptions to production systems, and tensions that tend to escalate into wars<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

In no other field of scientific analysis is there a similar suppression of research as that affecting the work of climatologists. Through half a century of patient effort, the scientific community has come to analyze and understand the dynamics of a complex system\u2014the atmosphere\u2014which is under stress from the forced and increasing (and still rising) release of greenhouse gases. Over this long period, it has produced tens of thousands of pages of reports predicting the consequences of rising concentrations of these gases, starting with CO2 and methane. <\/p>\n\n

What we are seeing these days is nothing more than a glimpse of the future that climatologists had predicted<\/strong>. Not the worst-case scenario. It corresponds to a global temperature increase of about one and a half degrees compared to the start of the Industrial Revolution (roughly half of the warming projected based on current trends). <\/p>\n\n
