Abstract

The global warming derived from human activities issue takes account today of a considerable part of individual and public attention in the political, economic, social and environmental scenario. The theoretical and ideological aspects of the environmental discourses involved are however often ignored. This paper aims to bring to light without attempting to exhaust the discussion on this subject (the ideology that involves interpretations of global climate change). To reach the objective it will be used de theoretical framework of ideology developed by Göhan Therborn (1991) applied to Six Degrees book by Mark Lynas (2009) and An inconvenient truth documentary by Al Gore (2006) analysis. Both works served as an example for the characterization of the point of view that blames human activities for global warming as ideological and how this ideology interpellates the individuals, in order to submit and qualify them.
