El tictac climático : La transformación del planeta y el destino que nos espera

The planet is sending us a warning we cannot ignore: it is warming relentlessly and will continue to do so for decades, even centuries, if we don't act now. The signs are clear: heat waves, devastating floods, fires, and droughts—extreme phenomena that are already affecting our daily lives. This raises inevitable questions: Is climate change reversible? If the Earth has experienced other changes, why is this time different? How did we get here? Is there a scientific consensus? And, if so, why do denialist narratives persist? The Climate Tick-Tock is not just another book about the environment, but an urgent call to reflection. Through the metaphor of a climate clock, Mar Gómez, PhD in Physics (with highest honors) and one of Spain's most influential science communicators, invites us to embark on a journey that begins at midnight and reviews the events that have shaped the planet's climate past, including the natural processes that made life possible. As the narrative unfolds, the chapters reveal the visible consequences of the current crisis: extreme heat, melting ice, wildfires, drought, biodiversity loss, and more. It culminates at dawn, when the alarm sounds: it's time to react and find solutions before time runs out. Is geoengineering the answer? Can we "play God," or must we choose realistic and sustainable alternatives? Endorsed by national and international experts, this book combines rigorous science, an engaging narrative, and a clear message: we still have time to act.
