Chiotti, Q. The relative magnitude of the impacts and effects of GHG-related emission reductions, 1999.

Nature Conservancy Web site, Mar. 26, 2007 ("Climate change is caused primarily by the release of heat-trapping gases -- mostly carbon dioxide -- produced by cars, trucks, power plants, industrial processes and deforestration.
