aux profondeurs de la planète, du rayonnement fossile aux mystérieux neutrinos, que d'étranges phénomènes ont contribué à la complexité du monde ! Mais sa richesse et sa beauté sont désormais mis en péril sur Terre par l'Homme, devenu la principale menace pour son environnement, pour la biodiversité, et finalement pour lui-même. Comment concilier la belle-histoire de l'Univers et la moins-belle-histoire de l'Humanité ? Nous offrant l'une et l'autre en parallèle, Hubert Reeves met son talent de conteur de science au service de notre nécessaire prise de conscience. Sans nous masquer la gravité de la crise écologique, il relève les signes d'une réaction qui nous permet d'espérer un avenir plus vert.

But by understanding the barriers to resolving global warming and by employing a wide range of solutions - from shifting to clean energy to planting trees to reforming agricultural practices - we can get the world back on track.

This was the first step in the formation of the Arctic Council, which was formally established in 1996 to act as a high-level intergovernmental body to address social, political, and environmental issues in the Arctic.
