Abstract: A novelty of our time is that mankind is facing a global phenomenon whose consequences are still difficult to assess by scientists, but that few still doubt: climate change / global warming, a phenomenon which tends to become the most complex problem human societies have ever faced. If the phenomenon is dangerous, favorable or neutral for the global ecosystem it depends on the perspective from which we analyze it. It may seem utopian to fight for saving planet Earth, but we need to consider seriously about the need to maintain a stable climate for the survival of all inhabitants of the planet, as long as possible. In this article I intend to describe the "fight" between those involved in climate campaigns versus climate skeptics / industrial groups, the ultimate goal being the influence on the public of climate policy. A part of this article is devoted to the pros and cons of climate change, but I will also focus on the absence of a climate debate in Romania.
