Introduction

There is no doubt that the denunciations, reflections and recommendations that have arisen around the upcoming summit on Climate Change are part of the concerns that modern society has begun to feel, if we evaluate the climate disasters that have taken place in Europe in the last six months.

On the one hand, there are scientists who assert that these changes experienced by the planet are part of the very equilibrium experienced by planet Earth.

However, there is another group of scientists whose hypotheses are centered on tipping the balance of climate disorders to the activities of humans, thus ensuring that the anthropogenic factor is solely responsible for climate change.

Burning fossil fuels a problem to be solved

Within the arguments, the burning of fossil fuels and the felling of trees lead to the leakage of this greenhouse gas, hence, both activities accelerated climate change, so it is not surprising that atmospheric CO2 has increased due to the irrationality of human activities.

On the other hand, and according to climate change experts, there is one way in which it can be definitively demonstrated where all this extra CO2 came from - the coal produced by burning fossil fuels has a unique chemical signature.

Another fact is that there are computer simulations, known as climate models, that have already been used to show what would have happened to temperatures without the huge amounts of greenhouse gases generated by humans, so it is intuitive when human factors are introduced that the models can explain the rise in temperatures.
