IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
7 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 15 19 17 The estimate (in Figure SPM 7) of rural energy supply in
developing countries is very low. In case partly these are included
in the deforestation, this should be mentioned and the explanation
point no. 5 under the figure should be appropriately modified.

B 19 21 19 21 What of insurance industry influence on “energy use and emissions
associated with” particular products and industrial and
manufacturing processes ? Building construction practices,
locational metrics. These are becoming insurance-related issues
internationally – Swiss Re, etc. State insurance commissioners and
state pension managers in the U.S. Emerging issues for
financial/investment community.” Authors should revise or reject
