Impact of Biotechnology on the Climate Change
2020
Increasing temperature, reducing ice and intensifying cyclones are the most common symptoms of climate change. Increasing CO2 concentration in the environment is very dangerous for mankind. So, it is very essential to decrease or minimize the CO2 concentration. To combat this situation, biotechnology offers the best solution to decrease greenhouse gases and mitigate climate change. Genetically modified crops can take more CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into oxygen. Various abiotic stress-tolerant varieties of crops or plants have been developed in order to response the climate change. This chapter reviews the impact of biotechnology on the climate change and describes the application of genetic engineering and molecular biology for the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
