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. |

Natural Bumps in the Atmosphere Temperatures at Earth's surface have been rising for decades, but in the upper atmosphere, the temperature is slowly dropping. In explaining this change, scientists have focused on human-related causes -- but a new study shows that nature should not be ignored. |
