IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
new power technologies that can almost completely replace carbonemitting
technologies during the course of this century. Essentially,
these technologies are carbon capture and storage, solar (substituted
by other renewables where locally appropriate), fusion and
advanced nuclear fission. This point is not made with real clarity in
the SPM: it is diffused and hidden by the detail.

SPM-7 0 A 0 0 0 0 In General, "Summary for Policy Makers" doesn't mach the
opinions in the original report very well, some statements in
"Summary for Policy Makers" can not get supports from relevant
chapters.
(Yuan Guo, Energy Research Institute, National Development and
Reform Commission)
SPM-8 0 A 0 0 0 0 Poorly written and full of references, citations and figures.
Cumbersome and difficult to read. Unlikely that reading this will be
helpful to policy makers.
(David Jackson, McMaster University)
SPM-9 30 A 0 0 0 0 Overall I find that this section underplays the role of technology
research and development and in particular the very positive role
that international copoperation plays in this area.

SPM-10 27 A 0 0 0 0 Particularly the example of petrol taxes ought to be mentioned
more. This is the only truly large scale implementation of carbon
pricing (in practice - even though that terminology was not used)
before Kyoto. The fact that taxes only have effect in the long run
and that the political economy of taxes is tricky makes it all the
more important to act immediately. See Hammar, H., Å. Löfgrem
and T. Sterner, (2004), ‘Political Economy Obstacles to Fuel
Taxation’, Energy Journal, ISSN0195-6574, Vol. 25(3), pp 1-17.

SPM-11 0 A 0 0 0 0 Not enough emphasis overall on the overarching importance of
creating a strong price signal on carbon emissions
