Abstract

One of the great contemporary concerns of humanity is the analysis of climate change, that is, of the processes that alter the structure and functioning of the planet as a system and whose causes are inherently related to human activities. The direct relationship between climate change and carbon cycling in ecosystems is increasingly debated. Arrhenius in 1896 may have "planted the seed" of "global warming" when he launched the theory of the "greenhouse" in the planet's atmosphere by CO2 [1]. Several premises are assumed as evidence of global warming, such as: records in the ice core and records of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has never been experimentally demonstrated that records in ice cores are reliable in representing the original atmospheric composition. And the objections in the records of [CO2] in the atmosphere by renowned scientists have never been considered by climatologists.
