AB  - Nitrogen (N) use in agriculture substantially alters global N cycle with the 
      short- and long-term effects on global warming and climate change. It increases 
      emission of nitrous oxide, which contributes 6.2%, while carbon dioxide and 
      methane contribute 76% and 16%, respectively of the global warming. However, N 
      causes cooling due to emission of NO(x), which alters concentrations of 
      tropospheric ozone and methane. NO(x) and NH(3) also form aerosols with 
      considerable cooling effects. We studied global temperature change potential 
      (GTP) of N use in agriculture. The GTP due to N(2)O was 396.67 and 1168.32 Tg 
      CO(2)e on a 20-year (GTP(20)) and 439.94 and 1295.78 Tg CO(2)e on 100-year scale 
      (GTP(100)) during years 1961 and 2010, respectively. Cooling effects due to N use 
      were 92.14 and 271.39 Tg CO(2)e (GTP(20)) and 15.21 and 44.80 Tg CO(2)e 
      (GTP(100)) during 1961 and 2010, respectively. Net GTP(20) was 369.44 and 1088.15 
      Tg CO(2)e and net GTP(100) was 429.17 and 1264.06 Tg CO(2)e during 1961 and 2010, 
      respectively. Thus net GTP(20) is lower by 6.9% and GTP(100) by 2.4% compared to 
      the GTP considering N(2)O emission alone. The study shows that both warming and 
      cooling effects should be considered to estimate the GTP of N use.
