Abstract

This title is just a suggestion, what matters is its meaning. It means that global warming is what our world view or conception of reality allows us to perceive. In this case, humanity has access to the nature of global warming and its dynamics through the hegemonic official discourse on the subject and, therefore, through the world view of its protagonists. So start with "social construction" to mean the involvement of values, human interests and commitments in the debate on global warming. However, it is a strategic counterpoint to the title, suggesting that this situation is critically examined from a different perspective to emerge from Latin America, other than that prevailing in the global debate.
