For a patient scientist, the secrets of the greenhouse effect are more exciting than any of the best mysteries. However, this is a long process of reading, and sometimes there are no new clues for many years. When a person is aware of the fate of the protagonist is no longer in the story, but in the balance of our planet and live in the above species, will slowly break the mystery of carbon and feel anxious. - D.

In nineteenth Century, for example, many Americans believed that cutting down trees would bring more rain to one side. The exploration of the distant ice age has proved that the complete change of climate may be entirely determined by its internal factors. So what exactly are these changes caused by the thermal fluctuations of the sun? Or the volcano eruptions of the volcano ash clouds?

In 1896, a Swedish scientists published a new idea: with human burning of fossil fuels such as coal, gas, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere of the earth, we may increase the average temperature of the earth.
