| Summary: | Global warming is increasing permanently, because the concentration of CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere is rising continuously. According to National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the concentration of CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere was 407 ppm in June 2016 and 413 ppm in April 2017 as a last record for now. If the effects of other greenhouse gases, such as CH<sub>4</sub>, N<sub>2</sub>O, SF<sub>6</sub>, NF<sub>3, </sub>chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons are added, the effective concentration may reach or exceed 550 ppm CO<sub>2</sub>-equivalent. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change-2014 Climate Change Report, this is about two times higher than 278 ppm CO<sub>2</sub> concentration in the pre-industrial year 1765. Thus, very urgent solutions must be found. The aim of this article is to suggest a vital, fast and very meticulous solution using NH<sub>3</sub> gas in the atmosphere in order to decrease the atmospheric CO<sub>2 </sub>without delay. The laboratory experiments in the gas phase for (NH<sub>3</sub>+ CO<sub>2</sub>) reaction showed us that to use NH<sub>3</sub> gas in the atmosphere will be a very fast, effective method for decreasing CO<sub>2</sub> concentration of atmosphere. (NH<sub>3</sub>+ CO<sub>2</sub>) reaction is also quantitative in the cold atmosphere strata and there will be no more free ammonia in the atmosphere and no public health problem. |
