Study: No-Till Farming Reduces Greenhouse Gas
Purdue agronomist Tony Vyn says he was stunned by the large amounts of nitrous oxide his team detected in the air above the plowed fields compared with no-till fields. He says the results are worrisome because the gas packs 310 times the heat-trapping power of carbon dioxide, the gas largely blamed for climate change.

This post occurred to me just two days ago in regards zero till being a much cooler form of agriculture because the leftover crops reflect far more light back into space with out heating the soil first.Nowadays with millions of acres being converted to zero till I would expect a fairly major impact on climate cooling over the long term.
