IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
renewable energy sources. Japan and Toyota may economically
gain from the export of their gained knowledge, while contributing
to most promising no-regret measure type of transport.
iii) Or, assessing the economic and ecological effects of GHG
capturing, by a seemingly no-regret measure, such as a large scale,
airborne reforestation with a million, mixed forest seedlings
dropped in a marginal, barren area by a crazy American with
assistance of the US Air Force, a few years ago.
Just to mention a few examples of pro-active mitigating measures.
So important , so imaginary for decision makers.
Providing a first set of ranked mitigation measures per country or
per group of countries, has a preliminary character and is very
roughly estimated, but will definitely stimulate the UNFCCC/IPCC
stakeholders: governments, industry, NGO’s with challenging ideas
in order to start experimenting with no-regret options during period
between now and the Fifth Assessment Report of IPCC.
You should not speak about uncertainties, you speak about a first
attempts, a very first overview of pro-active measures, to be applied
and its effects should be reported by the member states. A simple
but trustful guidance should be provided by WG3, on the
preliminary measures, and on how to analyse to its effectiveness.
IPCC is an assessment body. Why is WG3 assessing mostly
beautiful scientific models dealing with impacts, effects, and
measures, and not so much assessing promising applications.
Assessment of non-model type of gained knowledge is also
assessment.
According to my perception WG3 should certainly be “allowed” to
undertake a first ranking of most promising no-regret measures
undertaken. The results of such an structured assessment can
provide series of promising no-regret solutions for the policy- and
decision makers, eager to absorb new ideas to be applied in their
country.
A first attempt of a structured frame for analyses of mitigating
measures, I offered through my contribution to the First Order Draft
