du calendrier maya s'arrête, présageant la fin du monde. Ses prophètes, nouveaux hérauts de l'Apocalypse, inondent la Toile de scénarios d'une brutalité effrayante, qui convoquent les forces les plus maléfiques du Ciel et de la Terre au service de la destruction la plus radicale, la plus définitive d'un monde qui n'en demandait pas tant. Un alignement planétaire néfaste ouvre les hostilités et nous vaut la malédiction de la planète fantôme Nibiru. Un Soleil irascible bombarde de particules une Terre secouée d'épouvantables tremblements... C'est beaucoup, c'est trop, tellement que ça en devient suspect. Avec pour seules armes quelques grammes de raison, une bonne dose d'humour et une pincée d'anecdotes croustillantes, Alain Cirou endigue ce débordement de croyances et d'irrationnel et donne les clés des connaissances scientifiques actuelles sur notre environnement planétaire. Rien de tel qu'un peu de savoir et une bonne bouffée d'humanité pour chasser les spectres de l'ignorance et du vide. -- 4e de couvThe sea
