Present climate and biological change - Climate Change: Biological and Human Aspects - page 254

Human activity, and climatic impacts thereon, will form the subject of Chapter 7.
Nitrous oxide contributes even less to anthropogenic warming than methane (see
Figure 1.2). Consequently much of this topic focuses principally on carbon dioxide.
As to nitrous oxide's anthropogenic sources, these are principally from the agri-
culture sector.
