> Heat pollution is a very minor concern.
WOHA was a cursory and self acknowledged "back of the envelope" style reference, it is also now outdated.
Heat pollution is often not a minor concern locally, see introductions such as "Thermal pollution: an overview"[1]. Even globally heat pollution may have a significant contribution to climate, see studies such as "Global anthropogenic heat emissions from energy consumption" [2]
>Although the mean Antropogenic Heat Flux is small compared to the forcing of GHGs, it may exert quite distinctive effects on the climate and the environment because of the surface-based emissions and uneven geographical distribution.[2]
