    Las disputas sobre el Cambio Climático (CC) son disputas sobre el futuro.

    En este trabajo se diferencian distintos discursos sobre el CC a los que corresponden distintas maneras de imaginar el futuro. Esas diferencias responden a maneras alternativas de concebir las dimensiones formales y práctico-cognitivas de los horizontes de futuro. Dada la relevancia de las luchas sociales sobre el CC y el enfrentamiento de distintos imaginarios de futuro, se concluye que, lejos del diagnóstico de la presentificación, nos encontramos en una coyuntura en la que prima una futurización en disputa.

    The disputes about the climate change are about the future. This paper distinguishes between different discourses on climate change taht correspond to different ways of imagining the future. These differences correspond to alternative ways of conceiving the formal and practical- cognitive dimensions of future horizons. Given the relevance of social struggels over climate change and the confrontation of different imaginary futures, it concludes that, away from the diagnosis of the presentification, we find ourselves in a situation where a contested futurization dominates.
