Umari keerai and global warming
Green plants and algae absorb carbon dioxide Green remedy: Salicornia, also known as umari keerai, grows on coastal areas and mudflats near the sea. It is a better photosynthesiser than wheat and some other grains. Some novel solutions are suggested to cope with the twin problem of global warming and increasing energy needs. Global warming has arisen due to climate change, which, in turn, has come about due to the increase in greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide. These gases trap incoming solar radiation and heat up the earth and its atmosphere.
