Bio-mass (vegetation) is burned in a power plant, usually to produce electricity. This releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, but because the gas was recently removed from the atmosphere when the vegetation was growing, the process is part of the carbon cycle, carbon neutral, and does not affect global warming and climate change.
Because its burning prevents the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), it helps to reduce climate change.

What are your opinions on earth's climate change and how it can affect the evolution of biodiversity?
Climate change could reduce biodiversity by reducing the populations of many different types of plants and animals.
Why change climate change?
The consequences are deleterious, and represent substantial harm. Although we cannot stop climate change--the inertia is now too great--we can take steps to reduce and mitigate the expected effects.
What type of energy do not contribute to climate change?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) does not contribute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How can biomass help to reduce global warming?
biomass energy can be turned into fuel instead of oil or gas. the government is looking for alternative fuel instead of oil or gas and biomass could take its place.
What is the climate change code of behavior that sets binding obligations on countries to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases?
The Kyoto Agreement of 1997.
Does biomass effect climate?
yes
What is a sentence for the term biomass?
The use of biomass for fuel can reduce the consumption of oil and coal.
What is the theory of climate change?
There is no"theory of climate change" as it has been demonstrated and observed by trained scientists for several decades.if there is a theory it is from the climate change deniers who insist that the process is "all natural" and will reduce itself without human effort.

What is global issues?
Global issues are: Climate Change Deforestation Recycle, Reuse, Reduce

What are you doing about climate change?
More to the point what are YOU doing about it. (I am trying to reduce my fossil fuel usage).
Climate change may bring water shortage how can we reduce the amount of water we use?
Yes and we have to!
What type of energy do not contribute to climate change?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) does not contribute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is President Obama's Climate Change Plan supposed to do?
President Obama's climate change plan is supposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the development of clean energy technologies. It has three objectives.
How can biomass help to reduce global warming?
biomass energy can be turned into fuel instead of oil or gas. the government is looking for alternative fuel instead of oil or gas and biomass could take its place.
What are your views on the climate change act?
Personally i think that the climate change act is a good and unique way for the UK to reduce its emissions nationally. It sets targets for the UK to reduce emissions and the UK meets them on target so i think it is a great idea, it should be considered by other countries as well.
