I have proposed that we develop the process of pyrolysis to be used on organic wastes to cut the reemitting of GHGs from the wastes that are basically a biofuels crop wasted that usurp no land or water from food production.

The important point here is that a small external forcing (orbital for ice - ages, or GHG plus aerosols & land use changes in the modern context) can be strongly amplified by the positive feedback mechanism (the strongest and quickest is atmospheric water vapor - a strong GHG, and has already been observed to increase.

The massive problems of unlimited human reproduction, unrestricted energy use by the rich, unrestricted extension of agriculture whether land is suitable or not, unrestricted water use, and unrestricted growth of cities - really bear no resemblance to the problem of polio.

Moreover, we now learn that not only are biofuels land and water using, but they are very energy - using on a life cycle basis, and are emission - generating if the energy inputs are fossil - based and / or if their expansion requires changes in land - use.

To be sure, some of these effects (such as the impact of irrigation on surface water vapour, or land use changes on evapotranspiration) are not easily dealt with in terms of the tropospheric radiative forcing — a point that was well made in the National Academies report on radiative forcing (on which Dr. Pielke was an author).

Our land's highest, best use is probably a mixture of solar farms in the driest and poorest areas which concentrate water by runoff onto neighboring land used either to return to nature and grow grass (with cows optional) to sequester carbon by building soil and / or be periodically harvested to provide feed for cellulosic ethanol.

These issues, which are either not recognized at all in the assessments or are understated, include: - the identification of a warm bias in nighttime minimum temperatures - poor siting of the instrumentation to measure temperatures - the influence of trends in surface air water vapor content on temperature trends - the quantification of uncertainties in the homogenization of surface temperature data, and the influence of land use / land cover change on surface temperature trends.

They report in Environmental Research Letters that they examined 740 different production systems for 90 different foods, to calculate levels of land use, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), fossil fuel energy use, the nutrient runoff that leads to eutrophication or «dead zones» in lakes and rivers, and the potential for acidification of the waters.

This may be me advertising my ignorance but if the OHC is of interest as against the SST why do we use a parameter of «global temperature» which is an amalgam of SST and air temperature over land rather than a total heat content or a temperature normalised say for mass or thermal density (normalise to the properties of water say)?

This includes maintaining Argo, the main system for monitoring ocean heat content, and the development of Deep Argo to monitor the lower half of the ocean; the use of ship - based subsurface ocean temperature monitoring programs; advancements in robotic technologies such as autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor waters adjacent to land (like islands or coastal regions); and further development of real - or near - real - time deep ocean remote sensing methods.
