IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
A 19 5 19 10 In Figure SPM.7, I do not understand how the insurance industry
can have a significant effect on emissions as depicted in this figure.
Suggest removing this bar. Also suggest converting this figure into
a table since I find that the footnotes that explain what is meant by
the bars is as, or more, important than the bars themselves.

A 19 5 0 0 Delete this figure. It is too subject to misinterpretation. According
to figure SPM-1, CO2 emissions in 2002 were about 30 Gt.
However, Figure SPM.7 shows the total of all influences is over 60
Gt. While more than one policy can affect a single source of
emissions, except for indicating that multilateral bank lending is an
indirect influence, the figure does not indicate which influences are
dominant. Also, for three of the seven bars on the chart, including
fiscal policy, which is the largest bar, there is only a single estimate
of influence. The notes indicate that for these three categories, all
of the emissions in the category can be affected by policy, implying
that the correct choice of policy could eliminate the emissions.
This is clearly not the case in the period to 2030 that is the focus of
the SPM. Finally, the title of the chart refers to policy areas, but the
insurance sector, which is largely in private hands, is included.

A 19 5 19 25 Where is Figure SPM7 cited from?
(Koji Kadono, Global Industrial and Social Progress Research
Institute(GISPRI))
A 19 5 19 0 Figure 7 is confusing and documentation is unclear. Authors should
revise to address these issues. U.S. Government
(Government of U.S. Department of State)
A 19 5 19 25 Footnote 2 appears to be unclear. The graph addresses among
others deforestation. Their are many drivers and causes of
deforestation, but only logging is mentioned in footnote 2. Logging
is an activity which does not lead necessarily to deforestation, as
logging is also a normal activity in sustainable forest managent.
What is meant here (illegal logging)? Please specify! Were
agriculture and land-use policies not taken into consideration?
