At all times and in all sciences, there have always been visionaries, those people who anticipate situations long before other persons can glimpse them. This is the case of Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), a French mathematician and physicist, who in 1824 calculated that an object the size of the Earth and with a similar distance [...]
There are still those who confuse these two phenomena, which, although very different, are closely related to each other, as they are to the greenhouse effect. We must bear in mind that the three correspond to the natural conditions of our planet for millions of years. Thanks to them, and other characteristics of the Earth, [...]
The failure of the Paris Agreement would be the failure of Homo sapiens. If we do not reverse the increase in global warming and we do not support sustainability on our planet, we will all be losers. There are clear indications that we are going in a opposite direction to the 2015 agreements, as can [...]

So far, no evidence has been found to support this relationship. Whenever there is an extraordinary phenomenon that is supposed [...]
One tree breathes, two trees breathe twice as much and in the case of the Amazon it is the world’s largest rainforest that breathes. And it does so with force, because millions of trees live in its immense territory of about six million square kilometers, eight times greater than the Borneo rainforest, depleted by 75%, [...]
Earth day is celebrated because there are intelligent life on Earth. That easy. On planets, without thinking beings presence there is no possibility of celebrating anything since there is no one who can do it. Instead, in this little blue point lost in a corner of universe, which from millions of light year distances is [...]
Some scientists say that what is happening in Borneo is the largest and fastest man-made ecological catastrophe in human history. Greenland, with its 2,175,600 km2, is the largest island in the world; New Guinea, with 792,500 km2, is the second and Borneo, with its 743,330 km2, ranks third among the largest islands on [...]
