TOMMASINO, Humberto  e  FOLADORI, Guillermo. (Un)certainties on the environmental crisis. Ambient. soc. [online]. 2001, n.8, pp. 49-68. ISSN 1809-4422.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1414-753X2001000800004.

The majority of articles and books on the environmental question consider the main environmental problems as a fact, without discussing its uncertainties. In this article we consider the two main environmental problems: the climate change and lost of biodiversity. We characterize the problems and show the international discussion about it, as well as the scientific uncertainties.
