Greenland Wasn’t All Green, by Gianluca Lentini (Egea, 2023)

What is climate change? How is it measured? How do we know what is really happening and what might happen in the future? How sure are we that current climate change is human-made? More importantly, what can be done now and what decisions can we make? Starting from Nordic legends and sagas (where we will find out, among other things, why the very white Greenland bears a name that actually means “green land”), Gianluca Lentini invites us on a real journey of exploration into climate change: one step at a time, he takes us through the necessary definitions and data, the laws and equations of mathematics, physics and chemistry (always told in a way that everyone can understand), thrilling us page after page with stories, phenomena and effects. We will finally approach possible actions to put in place to mitigate and adapt. The book closes with an essential “review against denialism,” because there are still too many clichés that prevail when it comes to climate and climate change.
