Resumen

Brasil sufrió en 2022 una de las mayores tormentas de su historia, que puede ilustrar el destino del actual cambio climático global. La ciudad de Petrópolis era antaño conocida por su clima suave y agradable, reconocido por los emperadores brasileños en el siglo XIX. La deforestación de las laderas de la ciudad, unida a los cambios climáticos provocados por la acción antrópica en las últimas décadas, han transformado el lugar de descanso de la realeza en una trampa de inundaciones periódicas. El fenómeno, y sus consecuencias, nos alertan sobre la necesidad de reconocer los riesgos que corre la humanidad si no se produce un cambio en la forma en que tratamos el medio ambiente.
