2021br. Quando visitò l'Artico per la prima volta negli anni Ottanta, Mark Serreze era un giovane studioso, pieno di entusiasmo ma poco convinto che gli esseri umani giocassero davvero un ruolo importante nelle variazioni climatiche. Quando, diversi anni più tardi, Serreze volle rivedere la zona dei suoi primi studi, si trovò di fronte a una sconvolgente sorpresa: l'area era quasi completamente sparita, ridotta a qualche chiazza di ghiaccio sporco e destinato a sciogliersi del tutto di lì a breve. "Caldo. Breve storia dello scioglimento dell'Artico" parte da quella sorpresa e racconta la vicenda che, attraverso decenni di esplorazione di ricerca sul campo, ha portato Serreze a cambiare idea, diventando così uno dei più influenti e ascoltati attivisti al lavoro affinché gli esseri umani creino una società globale unita e capace di tutelare al meglio il nostro pianeta.
