Observed climatic changes at the planetary level, and these which are due to natural activities and especially human, are forced to upset the systems of global atmospheric circulation, and this is attributed to the change of the energy budget of the Earth and its Atmosphere.
The increase of the planetary temperature already observed (Figure 1), provoked by the accumulation of concentrations of gases of a high capacity of thermal energy absorption, such as the carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), is only one of the main results of the change at the level of the radiative contributions and losses of the planet Earth.
