Comments
IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
example magnetic levitation trains are not mentioned even though a
successful system is now operating in Shanghai
(David Jackson, McMaster University)
16 A 12 29 12 34 It should included here that it is crucial for policy makers to
recognize that GHG emissions reductions will not be viewed as the
critical issues in transportation during the coming decades.
Therefore, concerns about transportation will need to focus on local
effects (i.e. congestion, local air pollution, increases in traffic
accidents) and that basically, the global warming issue in
transportation will be addressed within the context of sustainable
development. This is an important point for policy makers. While
further reference is found in Chapter 5, page 6, lines 18-26),
introducing the issue in the SPM is suggested.

16 A 12 29 12 33 comment: inconsistent with Ch5-5, 10-14, suggest to insert after "...
contributions." "The economic and market potential of reductions
in transport GHG emissions may be substantially lower than the
technical potential because estimates for future technology costs are
often optimistic and/or disregard the trade-off between fuel
efficiency and other valued vehicle characteristics."
(Government of The Netherlands)
16 A 12 29 12 34 The authors should review this section as care is needed in drafting
to avoid a sense of policy prescription.
(Government of Australia)
16 B 12 29 12 33 Provide better references in text. U.S. Government
(Government of U.S. Department of State)
16 B 12 29 12 30 How much will it depend on government policies? Statement lacks
information and, as a result, seems a bit policy prescriptive. Won’t
high gas prices because of market factors have a substantial effect?
