Nitrous oxide is explicitly categorized as a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, as evidenced by its inclusion in lists of such gases in [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, [4] identifies it as the third most abundant well-mixed greenhouse gas, while [5] quantifies its specific contribution to total greenhouse gas emissions.

claimThe primary greenhouse gases emitted by human activities globally are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and F-gases.
claimThe main greenhouse gases resulting from fossil fuel combustion are nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
measurementMethane accounts for 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while nitrous oxide accounts for 6% and F-gases account for 2%.
measurementNitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most abundant well-mixed greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane, with an atmospheric life span of approximately 130 years.

measurementAnimal-source foods were responsible for 80% of methane and nitrous oxide emissions, 56% of all food-related greenhouse emissions, and 85% of food-related land use, with beef, lamb, and dairy having particularly large impacts.
measurementMethane and nitrous oxide, two greenhouse gases primarily associated with agriculture, contributed 7.5 GtCO2eq to global emissions in 2018.
