Global climate change has kick started the effort of reducing the emission of Carbon Dioxide, a greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels. Researchers from UCLA have genetically modified a cyanobacterium to consume carbon dioxide and produce a liquid fuel source called Isobutanol. This new discovery may have opened the door to a clean and green fuel source, hopes are high because the product of this discovery may hold great potential as an alternative fuel source to run our nations automobiles on. If we were able to run our automobiles off of a fuel derived from carbon dioxide it may help bring global warming to a halt.
