Abstract

A review of the historical evolution of natural climatic changes has been carried out and comparisons of the natural changes of temperature and CO2 concentrations along the history with those expected based on IPCC studies on the antropogenic climatic change has been made. A general discussion has been carried out and alternatives of mitigation and adaptations are described, including those in which the use of soils as temporary C sinks are considered.
