IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
Which are the positive results of the IPCC-FAR inventory on
present day initiatives of mitigation of GHG by nations, industries,
NGO’s dealing with the stimulating renewable energy resources &
adaptive technologies in transport-, agriculture ect sectors in order
to reduce GHG emissions? There are many to mention, and that
cause a more positive sound, than is heard from IPCC so far!
References needed: I will search them!
Did I miss something? I looking forward to inventory ongoing
initiatives to mitigate.
That is needed in order to show that a number of UN member
states (including the State of California) are busy with preparing
and implementing mitigating measures, now! That stimulates the
policy – and decision makers of other member states and could
reduce the time for introduction of mitigating measures by learning.
That takes away the high level of doom saying and the so-called
uncertainties of the present FAR-WG3 report. I have to state that
the level of doom saying and uncertainties in this SOD is less than
in the FOD!
One of my messages to IPCC-WG3: away with uncertainties, we
know now enough on the causes and impacts of CC, it is high time
after 18 IPCC years to prepare and to execute no- regret measures.
During the last lag of the Fourth IPCC Assessment Report, which
is not so much discriminating from the preceding ones, concerning
causes and impacts, it is now high time to really shift from science
to application: to do, to prepare, to experience and to execute noregret
measures. This shift is absolutely necessary, in the case that
IPCC in time should be taken seriously, in particular by many of
the developing countries and by a growing number of the
developed countries, aiming at a longer sustainable time horizon for
their economic development.
