Do we know how much of that is causing global warming?



Good link posted by s0rce in another reply, the authors' research seems to indicate the global effect is quite small, which tracks with what we might expect - it's a really big problem localised in cities because so much of the area around us is paved, but on a global scale the surface area of paved urban areas is not huge as a percentage of the surface of the earth.
