As far as broadening the scope of research goes, I agree, but there is the danger of lack of prioritisation. At present, there is a little too much of everyone wanting a piece of the action. In support of the negotiations, there are a number of efforts that deal with improving the flow of information to decision-makers and there will be a chat session devoted to that later in the week. The problem is complex. The chemistry involved in tropospheric and upper tropospheric processes could be significant.
Oceans play a key role in the distribution of heat.
Frankly, the first priority would be to determine exactly how the greenhouse effect is functioning. Clouds - Dr. Lindzen mentioned the water vapor problem. Also transport in the tropopause region. The ozone problem was at least partially solved thanks to a broad frontal attack on the problem. Ooops - forgive me.
