Ironic Ecology: Humor, Data, and Climate Metaphors is a short, sharp, and free course that teaches you to think green without falling into catastrophism… or greenwashing. We use the common thread of the book “The Polar Bear Went to the Beach” to translate metaphors into metrics, debunk viral myths, and prioritize high-impact actions. Through micro-readings, express debates, and practical activities, you will explore parallels between natural and digital ecosystems: from mites in your pillow to algorithms in your feed. You will look at ultra-fast fashion through a magnifying glass, audit your trash and your data, and analyze the “Hypocritical Tesla” paradox with life cycle analysis in hand. You will also learn to detect misleading claims with humor and rigor, understanding how the real levers of change operate: public policy, design, finance, and digital culture. If you want to sharpen your critical radar, communicate with well-directed irony, and make measurable decisions that actually move the needle, this course is for you. You will finish with a personal plan of three high-impact commitments and, as a gift, a responsible “permission for irony.”

            <p>Ecología irónica: humor, datos y metáforas del clima propone una ruta poco convencional para pensar el planeta sin caer ni en el catastrofismo paralizante ni en el optimismo cosmético. A partir del libro “El oso polar se fue a la playa”, usaremos metáforas mordaces y microlecturas para contrastar narrativas virales con evidencia científica. El objetivo es entrenar la mirada: interpretar indicadores ambientales, detectar trampas retóricas y traducirlas en decisiones informadas. La dinámica combina debates ágiles, actividades de contraste narrativa-datos y ejercicios prácticos que revelan la relación entre nuestros hábitos, la cultura digital y los ecosistemas que nos sostienen.</p>
<p>El curso arranca con una introducción que enmarca el propósito y el tono: humor con rigor. En el Módulo 1 revisitaremos ecosistemas y biodiversidad mediante paralelos con lo digital: desde las “fiestas” invisibles en tu cama y tu móvil hasta el efecto de reintroducir lobos comparado con la reintroducción de narrativas en redes. Aprenderás a mapear nichos ecológicos y “algorítmicos”, a desactivar mitos sobre invasiones biológicas y a desmontar posts virales con datos. En el Módulo 2 exploraremos la huella invisible de recursos y contaminación: plásticos frente a e‑residuos, moda ultrarrápida y la paradoja del “Tesla Pócrita”, con mini‑labs para auditar tus residuos y tu flujo de datos. El Módulo 3 expone la era del greenwashing: taxonomía de trucos, wokewashing, dietas eco con efectos no deseados y el hambre energético de la IA, culminando en un mapa de palancas (políticas públicas, diseño, finanzas y cultura digital) y en un plan personal de alto impacto. Cerraremos con una conclusión accionable —Do y Don’t para mantener la curiosidad y medir lo que importa—, un módulo extra de “tomas falsas” sobre sesgos y cherry‑picking, y evaluaciones breves para afianzar el aprendizaje. Si el oso polar aparece con sombrilla en la playa, aquí aprenderás a leer el chiste, verificar el dato y elegir la acción que realmente mueve la aguja.</p>
