Against the backdrop of a global environmental crisis, discussing the climate change It is no longer a matter for the future, but for the present. And yet, misconceptions, distorted views and outright falsehoods continue to circulate, hindering collective action. Is climate change really a natural phenomenon? Is there really nothing we can do? Is it just a fabrication by radical environmentalists?

In this new episode of the podcast, we debunk some of the most persistent myths about climate change using data, science and common sense. A clear, straightforward conversation, with a touch of humour, to help us understand what is at stake and why urgent action is needed.

“The climate has always changed”: the great classic

One of the most commonly repeated myths is that the climate “has always changed”. And that is true. But as he points out Isabel Moreno Muñoz from Here on Earth:

“The difference is that things are now changing faster than ever… and we’re the ones putting our foot down on the accelerator.”

The scientific evidence is overwhelming: the rise in greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity — the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and intensive livestock farming — is disrupting the planet’s balance at an unprecedented rate.

What if it’s not that serious?

Another common argument is to downplay the problem. People say it’s just hotter in summer, or that this also happened centuries ago… But behind every heatwave, every extreme drought and every devastating tropical storm, there are human lives, forced displacement, crop losses, health impacts and millions in economic damage.

As highlighted in the episode:

“The problem is not just environmental; it is social. Climate change exacerbates inequalities, affects those with the least the most, and puts our most basic rights at risk.”

What can we do?

One of the episode’s great achievements is that it does not stop at simply highlighting problems, but offers solutions, nuances and practical proposals. These range from individual action (responsible consumption, reducing car use, clean energy) to the urgent need for bold public policies and committed businesses.

“Not everything depends on you, but it is up to you to demand change. Silence is the best ally of misinformation.”

A question of responsibility… and of hope

In an age of denialism, memes and information overload, combating the myths about climate change It is more urgent than ever. Because fully understanding the problem is the first step towards solving it.
