• Resumen

  • This article discusses research, published in the August 29, 2008 issue of "Science" indicating that the oxygen levels necessary to sustain fire are higher than previously thought. This issue is considered in terms of the historical study of climate and atmospheric chemistry. The possibility that geological findings about wildfires will need to be reinvestigated to coordinate those hypotheses with the current knowledge about the atmosphere is considered.
