El di\u00f3xido de carbono es un buen ejemplo de un gas causante del efecto invernadero, es decir, un gas que atrapa el calor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A lo largo de los \u00faltimos 100 a\u00f1os, la cantidad de di\u00f3xido de carbono en la atm\u00f3sfera ha ido aumentando constantemente. La mayor\u00eda de este incremento se debe a las actividades humanas como, por ejemplo, la combusti\u00f3n de petr\u00f3leo y carb\u00f3n o la deforestaci\u00f3n de los bosques.<\/p>\n<p>Los bosques absorben una gran cantidad del di\u00f3xido de carbono presente en el aire. Sin embargo, este carbono almacenado es liberado a la atm\u00f3sfera al talar o quemar los \u00e1rboles.<\/p>\n<p>Los datos reunidos por los sat\u00e9lites demuestran que nuestro planeta parece estar calent\u00e1ndose gradualmente. La mayor\u00eda de los cient\u00edficos creen que hay una relaci\u00f3n entre el calentamiento global y el aumento de los gases de invernadero. A esto se le conoce com\u00fanmente con el nombre de \u201cefecto invernadero\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Sat\u00e9lites como el Envisat de la ESA nos ayudan a reunir m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n acerca de los cambios clim\u00e1ticos globales y a predecir lo que ocurrir\u00e1 en el futuro.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"977\" data-credit=\"University of Heidelberg\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2004\/09\/Global_atmospheric_methane_distribution_measured_by_SCIAMACHY2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2004\/09\/global_atmospheric_methane_distribution_measured_by_sciamachy2\/17887432-2-eng-GB\/Global_atmospheric_methane_distribution_measured_by_SCIAMACHY.gif\" alt=\"Global atmospheric methane distribution measured by SCIAMACHY\"><figcaption>Distribuci\u00f3n global del metano en la atm\u00f3sfera medida por SCIAMACHY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Algunos instrumentos a bordo del Envisat elaboran diariamente mapas globales de los gases de invernadero como, por ejemplo, el metano (un gas utilizado com\u00fanmente en las cocinas y los sistemas de calefacci\u00f3n).
