El cambio climático es, probablemente, el problema más grande que nuestro planeta enfrenta hoy. Solo en los Estados Unidos, las emisiones de bióxido carbono son de casi 20 toneladas por persona al año. Desde 1990 se han registrado los 10 años con las temperaturas más altas; el año del 2006 fue el más caliente. El hielo del mar Ártico ha declinado a los niveles más bajos de la historia y varios estudios demuestran que dos terceras partes de la población de osos polares desaparecerán para el 2050.
