At the university of Georgia, scientist are working in research on a product called Biochar as a possible solution.  This process takes all kinds of animal and plant waste and instead of allowing them to rot in a land fill, heats them to a to tempratures as high as 1000 degrees farinheight where they give off gases and result in a porus charcoal.  The gases given off are trapped and used as fuel for cars or generation of electricity.  The biochar is in fields to help slow water evaporation and encourage naturel enhancement of the soil.

Estimates ar that use of this procedure could reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 8% over a corse of 50 years.  Farmers in the Amazon have used the process for many years and it has resulted in a fertil soils that need no fertilizer even 500 years later.  Enriching the soil has the added advantage of allowing increased production without having to cut more forestland in the rainforest.  Trees in the rainforest are significantly important in stopping global warming as they use carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the production of glucose.    Cutting these trees is thought to have significantly increased the greenhouse gases that have contributed to global warming.
