We discussed a couple of ideas at the last meeting that appear in these papers.
When complex systems are being considered, this is a good place to start:
Leverage Points: places to intervene in a system
Another paper that touches on some fundamental issues:
Long-Term Global Heating From Energy Usage
What is relevant about this paper is that black body radiational cooling is the only way for heat to leave the Earth. Human activity -- even activity that avoids incremental emission of greenhouse gasses -- increases the temperature of the Earth.
