Abstract
Climate change has become one of the most frequently debated issues of the multilateral agenda. International organizations such as the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), the Group of Eight (G8) deem global warming as a pressing problem, with potential consequences on many concrete aspects of daily life, such as, the way we produce and consume energy and the means of transport we use. Although climate change involves different kinds of expertise, and has been studied by scientists, economists, lawyers, policy-analysts, the first step is to focus our attention on the scientific problem to which the legal texts want to find a solution, that is, global warming of the earth.
