Global warming in general is heating up of earth. It occurs due to the presence of gases like carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, ozone, etc. but the most important gas responsible for global warming is carbon dioxide. It absorbs infra red light radiated from earth surface and hence prevent their escape from earth. These are the rays which have the heating effect and cause the heating up of earth surface.

Scientists says that we just have got a decade or so to cut down the rate of increase in global warming because the rate at which the increase in global warming is taking place, the earth can reach to such high temperatures that it may become impossible to cool down earth back.

Some of dreadful things which can occur due to global warming are the draught, increase in sea levels which can cause submergence of coastal areas of the world, melting of ice and glaciers, extreme climate changes etc.

Now, to curb the increase in global warming many steps have been taken like increasing fuel efficiency of machines, use of non-conventional fuels like wind energy, biogas, solar energy etc. and increasing public awareness.

Biogas consist of mixture of gases mainly methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. It is produced during anaerobic digestion of organic matter. The most important gas which is actually used is methane. The microorganisms responsible for methane production are methanogenic bacteria. Now to prevent further increase in carbon dioxide level of atmosphere, the use of biogas advised. This is because burning of methane produce carbon dioxide which is not new. The carbon dioxide produced was previously present in atmosphere. It was taken up by plants during photosynthesis and this carbon dioxide is only returned back to atmosphere, during biogas production and utilization. So, no new carbon dioxide is added to atmosphere. Hence, it prevents the further increase the carbon dioxide level in atmosphere.

I feel that this way we can stop the increase in global warming but we can’t reduce the level of already present carbon dioxide level in atmosphere. So, the earth is still not back to normal. It just prevents earth from getting imbalanced further. But it is not a perfect solution.
