The estimates — based on analysis of fire's impact on emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane; albedo or the reflectivity of Earth's surface; and release of aerosols and other particulates — suggest fire plays a major large role in climate than conventionally believed.

In their estimate, Hansen and Sato only consider GHGs (including non-CO2 GHGs) and surface albedo (reflectivity) as forcings.

Because of the nearly constant seasonal and long - term 340nm surface reflectivity, the 340nm LER can be used to estimate changes in cloud plus 10 aerosol amount associated with seasonal and interannual variability and decadal climate change.

The albedo of the Earth System, including the reflectivity of clouds and of the surface is estimated to be 70 % 30 % by many experts.
