In a research on the effect of the transport sector(运输领域)on climate，it proves that road traffic contributes the most to global warming．The aviation(航天)sector has the second largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the Earth’s Climate．
The study concludes that since pre—industrial times，15％of CO? emissions(排放量) made by humans have come from the transport sector．The study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sector．Looking only at CO? emissions，road traffic alone has led to two—thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissions．The reason why road transport tops the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissions．The researchers said that the road emissions of today will make Up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred years．
Following road transport，aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming．However, the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissions．In fact，over the next 100 years，today’s road emissions will have a climate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today’s aviation emissions．
For shipping，the picture is more complicated．Until now，shipping has had a cooling effect on climate．This is because shipping produces a large amount of S02，which has a cooling effect．However，although the gas，until now，has given the shipping industry a cooling effect，this effect will disappear after a while，as the gas doesn't last long in the atmosphere．The long—lived CO? will dominate(占优势)，giving shipping a warming effect in the long run．
In general，the transport sector's contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future．
