We have heard a lot about greenhouse gases in recent decades. While right now CO2 emission represents a threat to the planet’s climate stability (anthropocentric stability), it is not a new feature in the Earth’s atmosphere. Co2 has maintained a self-regulating equilibrium through geological and astronomical events, which manifest a cyclical character. This has buffered …
