Global warming is perhaps the most dramatic example of "hyperobjects" - entities of such vast temporal and spatial dimensions that they defeat traditional ideas about what a thing is in the first place.

El término hiperobjeto fue planteado por Timothy Morton en el libro Pensamiento ecológico, y se refiere a cosas (objetos) que son tan grandes (o complejas) que se precisa distancia para poder verlas (o comprenderlas); una distancia que permita no solo perspectivas, sino también, y ante todo, información.
