The climatic impacts of land surface change and carbon
... changes in land cover have created a global, annual mean climate forcing of −0.21 W/m2 (with a global cooling effect of 0.14 ◦ C). Betts (2000) estimates the land surface forcing to be −0.1 W/m2 . These compare with a global climate forcing of 1.46 W/m2 from the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxid ...
