Abstract

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which aggregates international research efforts on climate change, “global atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CH4 and N2O have increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 and in 2005 exceeded by far the natural range of the last 650,000 years” (IPCC 2007), with an increase of 70 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to human activities between the two periods.
