“It’s not me you have to listen to. I keep saying it. We have to listen to the scientists!” – Greta Thunberg

★Short history of global warming and its protagonists.
★For the kids who protest on the streets in defence of the environment: a book that helps understand the roots of the problem and to learn how to defend the planet.

Global warming. Greta Thunberg. CO2. Renewable energies.
We hear these words every day and are called to have our say on them. But are we really sure we really know what it’s all about? And is it really true that no one before us realised that our planet is overheating? The authors retrace the history of climate change starting from the first studies in 19th century to then arrive at Friday’s for future. They demolish the fake news on the topic and suggest virtuous behaviour that we can all adopt, every day, to limit the damage.
With a concise, ironic and rigorous tone, and with the help of infographics and illustrations, they face the thorniest topic of recent years in a simple way.
