    El actual calentamiento que padece nuestro planeta es, sin lugar a duda, resultado del accionar humano. Los cambios en el clima se volverán más recurrentes, y generarán problemas económicos más agudos. El traspasar los límites de la tierra, por otra parte, empuja al clima, así como a la naturaleza, a ámbitos desconocidos: territorios donde prima el no -saber. ¿Cómo tomar decisiones en dicho contexto? La incertidumbre radical nos obliga a tomar decisiones “en la más densa oscuridad”, lugar donde las narrativas pueden proveernos de una explicación para los eventos que no pueden ser explicados.

    The current warming trend of our planet is extremely likely to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century. Changes in the climate will become more and more recurrent, which will bring increasing economic problems. Transposing Earth's boundaries, on the other hand, might lead climate as well as nature to unknown territories where the non-knowledge prevails. How to make decisions in this context? Radical uncertainty forces us to make decisions “in the dark”, where narratives help us to anticipate an explanation for unexplained events.
