Abstract

There has been a heated discussion on climate change in recent years, with a particular focus on global warming.
Instrumental recording of temperatures has been available for less than 200 years. Over the last 100 years, a temperature increase of 0.5°C could be measured [1] with rather different regional patterns and trends [2]. Over the last several million years there have been warmer and colder periods on Earth, and the climate fluctuates for a variety of natural reasons, as data from tree rings, pollen, and ice core samples have shown. However, human activities on Earth have reached an extent that they impact the globe in potentially catastrophic ways.
