How much does blacktop contribute to heating the earth?

Asked by SquirrelEStuff (10007points) August 10th, 2012

Pretty straightforward question.
Obviously blacktop radiates much more heat than a grassy field.
Has there been any research as to how much it actually contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Is blacktop black to help reduce freezing in the winter?
