Abstract
During the 20th century climate change proceeded fast, especially accelerated by industrialization. Burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture and ranching increased the amount of emitted greenhouse gases such as CO2, which accumulate in the atmosphere and hamper the heat emission from surface of the Earth into the universe.
