History forms part of the present, in its own timing it sometimes threatens us, encourages us or teaches us. The global heating a thousand years ago, which lasted several centuries, should teach us that we have never controlled nature, that instead, we have had to adapt ourselves to its whims. We can affirm that massive deforestation is directly linked to climate warming. The deforestation of the medieval Hot Period, an era in which rainfall diminished by 10% and temperatures rose from 0.5 to 1° C with a heavy increase in the population, brings to mind modern-day climatic and demographic factors. Therefore, history is repeating itself. But what can we do to stop this impending catastrophe? Why are we waiting to interpret the danger signals of climatic change that we are going against? We have to look at the tip of the iceberg: the Antarctic!
