MASS - MEDIA ȘI SCHIMBĂRILE CLIMATICE

Ecological researchers and decision - makers, with few exceptions, have failed to adopt an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to analyzing the relationship between human action and the ecological systems that sustain it; although specialization is of vital importance for the systemic progress of knowledge, there is also the need for a generalizing vision, which integrates different fields of knowledge, to create bridges, in particular, between the social sciences and the natural sciences. According to the official rhetoric, which can be found in international documents, the changes in the climate system represent direct and immediate evidence of the negative consequences that atmospheric pollution generated by human activities creates on the entire environment. On the other hand, other authors state that climate warming is an exaggeration, its effects are far from only negative, the limits of the planet are far from being reached, and the gloomy forecasts are nothing more than alarmist scenarios stimulated by certain top industries or financial interests.
