Plants remain an effective way of tackling global warming despite emitting small amounts of an important greenhouse gas, a study has shown.
Global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has increased from a pre-industrial value of about 280 ppm to 379 ppm in 2005. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. It traps the sun rays in the atmosphere that should in other way reflect back to the space. But as the rays are trapped, the atmospheric temperature increases – ‘global warming’.
