other industrial activities may employ some of the many people fleeing the countryside — but these also consume water, and it is not clear where that will come from.

where industrial activity is highest.
Most industrial activity is in the northern hemisphere, so most of the anthropogenic sulfate cooling should be there too.
So greenhouse gases emitted by human
industrial activity not only cause more heat to become trapped in the atmosphere, they also cause more of the sun's energy to accumulate in the oceans.

Now if this was the 1980s they might have had a point, but the fact that aerosols are an important climate forcing, have a net cooling effect on climate and, in part, arise from the
same industrial activities that produce greenhouse gases, has been part of mainstream science for 30 years.
The ozone forcing most probably only has a trend due to
industrial activity affecting tropopsheric ozone (a warming), and the depletion of stratospheric ozone due to CFCs from the 1980s onwards (a slight cooling).
The first, and probably unanswerable question is How much will human
industrial activities actually raise the concentration of carbon dioxide etc. in the air in the future?
