Antonello Provenzale
How is Earth’s climate changing?
Throughout history, the climate of our planet changed a lot – from global glaciations to warmer ages – but still it kept as stability that allowed life since nearly three billion years. Over the last centuries, a new actor entered the scene: humanity influences both the environment and Earth’s climate by releasing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, by changing the exploitation of the land and modifying the biogeochemical cycles of the planet. But what are the functioning mechanisms of the Earth System? And moreover, what kind of climate do we have to expect in future?
