In order to save the
environment from the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide and greenhouse effect, the scientists have achieved a revolutionary feat. The researchers at Iceland have transformed the carbon dioxide into rocks to save the earth from global warming.

This acidic mixture got mixed up with calcium and magnesium of the
rocks which resulted into the formation of limestone.
In this way, according
to Jurg Matter of the University of Manhattan, the carbon dioxide was permanently and naturally tapped. Matter is the lead author and related to the research.
It is hoped that the
findings of the research would provide an effective weapon to fight against the
global warming which is the creation of modern man.
Now carbon dioxide will not remain a gas for longer and would be converted into rocks. It was found in the research that about 95% of the carbon dioxide was captured and
transformed into rocks. It happened faster than the previous estimates of the
researchers. It was supposed that it would take thousands of years in the capturing and storage process of carbon dioxide. David Goldberg, the geophysicist of Columbia University has highly acclaimed this research and experiment of Iceland.
