Abstract
The greenhouse effect due to nitrous oxide in the present atmosphere is about 0.8°K. Increase in atmospheric N_2O due to perturbation of the nitrogen cycle by man may lead to an increase in surface temperature as large as 0.5°K by 2025, or 1.0°K by 2100. Other climatic effects of N_2O are briefly discussed.
