The men have always emitted CO2 to the atmosphere, in fact,
every time we exhale. But something happen that made men to
triplicate (or more) the emission of CO2 and GHG (Greenhouse
gases) to the environment: Energy sources like carbon and oil,
used in the industries, since the 2 nd period of Industrial
Revolution. First, with carbon for energy the water steam motor,
and then the oil, and then full oil combustion, and. well,
today. Every time you start your car you're producing a lot more
CO2 that you should normally emit. And other gases too, like
methane, produced by all the trash and chemical waste, or CFC
(Chlorofluorocarbons), produced by the refrigerators or
aerosols. Greenhouse Effect top Joseph Fourier in 1824 raised
the theory of the Greenhouse Effect. but, what the hack is the
Greenhouse effect? The theory consist that some gases, like
oxygen and nitrogen do not "absorb" the Sun's heat, but gases
like carbon dioxide (CO2) do. These gases
