Artifact 7
In this article I found out a lot of interesting information on how to prevent or at least slow down global warming. For the past couple of years, the UN has been running programs to insist on lowering gas emissions of global warming gases. The way they plan on fighting back glabal warming by letting less fortunate countries sell credits to richer countries. The money that the less fortunate countries receive can go towards the building of specialized systems built byAgCert. The system collects methane gas from rotting pig manure farms in Mexico, Chile, and Brazil. Then burns it off or uses it to generate electricity. That will produce carbon dioxide which is a global warming gas, but it is far less harmful then methane gas. There are also other projects that are being tested to help slow down global warming. For example, there is a project that will try to generate electricity from rice husks in Cambodia. Also in Nepal scientists are trying to transform waste into cooking fuel.
