Geotimes June 2003 Neeta Bijoor	Land use could also affect climate Scientists have traditionally called attention to heat-trapping greenhouse gases as a reason for climate change, commonly known as global warming. A new study adds to evidence that urbanization and other land-use changes may play a comparable role in climate change.
