New paper finds pre-industrial farming caused more global warming than the entire industrial revolution – Published in Geophysical Research Letters
Study 'finds pre-industrial farming caused more global warming than the entire industrial revolution. According to the authors, pre-industrial agriculture caused 0.9°C global warming, which is greater than the 0.7°C global warming since the beginning of the industrial revolution in 1850. The paper demonstrates land-use changes may be more significant as a primary climate forcing compared to the trivial effect of man-made CO2 on the climate.'
