The comment by Mario Tozzi, CNR geologist, science popularizer, essayist, author and Italian television presenter: “The overwhelming majority of scientists the world over warns us that our climate is abruptly changing, due to the impact of our economic activities. World summits describe global warming as a most worrisome emergency. So why do some people think that scientists have very diff erent opinions on this topic, while they clearly speak with one voice? This book is about climate change facts, and it takes into account science’s indisputable conclusions.”
