  abstract = {A direct relationship between abnormally rapid global warming and the CO2 produced by the exploitation and human uses of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, peat) is the basis of the recommendations made by the Intergovernmental Panel of Experts on Climate Change (the IPCC group) to fight against a worrying climatic drift in the next few decades.
