This gas is not the cause of carbon dioxide
London (EMS). Many countries of the world are troubled by rising temperatures. Europe, known for its cold weather, got so hot that many countries had to issue a red alert. There were such fires in the forests of many countries that they destroyed everything. According to scientists, climate change and global warming are responsible for these conditions. Till now it has been believed that the continuously increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming. But, now scientists say that methane gas is more responsible than global warming.
Scientists say that methane gas, which is rapidly increasing around the world, is 25 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide. These gases are the major cause of global warming. However, scientists claim that they have found a way to deal with the global climate change caused by methane. According to scientists, global warming can be controlled through a bacteria. The name of this bacteria is methanotrophs. Research from California University Long Beach claims that with its help methane gas, which plays a major role in global warming, can be reduced.
In fact, researchers have claimed that methanotrophs bacteria naturally work to convert methane gas into carbon dioxide. This bacteria eats the methane present in the air. During this, it keeps removing methane from the air. However, it can only remove methane from the air in small amounts. Experts say that if methanotrophs bacteria are used on a large scale, then the effect of global warming can be reduced to a great extent. Methane gas is also called greenhouse gas. This gas is usually released from human activities like agriculture, waste disposal and factory production.
According to the research report, with the help of methanotroph bacteria, success can be achieved in preventing 240 million tons of methane gas from reaching the environment by the year 2050. Scientists have discovered a strain of this bacteria. This strain is five times more capable of consuming methane gas than other bacteria. Methanotrophs bacteria can prove to be most effective in those places where there are large herds of cattle. Let us tell you that many research reports conducted around the world have shown that a large amount of methane gas is found in the belching of cattle.
Methanotrophs bacteria oxidize methane gas and convert it into carbon dioxide. Explain that carbon dioxide is 25 times less harmful than methane gas. Scientists say that there are many challenges in reducing the effect of global warming through methanotrophs bacteria.
