Humans have been modifying the environment exponentially‚ and since the industrial revolution the “carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by about 35%” (Le Treut 97). Who is the responsible of these changes‚ how do we know they are true‚ and how does these changes would impact our living in the future? This carbon dioxide increase is known to be mainly caused by the deforestation of forests‚ and the combustion of fossil fuels

Global Warming “The Earth ’s climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650‚000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat‚ with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7‚000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.” (NASA.GOV) Going through the history in our planet’s
