energy changed significantly between 1973-1983, but that the
change has not continued in the past two decades. U.S. Government

Start the sentence with: "Currently, developped countries ..."

SPM-20 1 B 1 12 0 0 “Carbon intensity of energy did not change much” is a bit
oversimplified. Figure SPM.2 shows that the carbon intensity of
energy changed significantly between 1973-1983, but that the
change has not continued in the past two decades. U.S.

1 A 1 13 1 14 It would be useful to know whether the population and ghg
emissions for developed countries are declining since 1970 and
what projections are until 2010 - 2020.
(John Drexhage, International Institute for Sustainable
Development)
1 A 1 13 1 14 From fuel combustion, the share by Annex I is 60% instead of 46%
(IEA, 2005). Please indicate if the number includes only fuel
combustion or both fuel combustion and agriculture (LULUCF).
This comment applies to Figure 3 as well.

1 A 1 13 1 13 for clarity please insert "now" before "hold", or specify year
(Government of The Netherlands)
1 A 1 13 1 15 From the viewpoint of policy relevance, there is no good reason to
present only a binary relationship between developed/developing
countries emissions and population. Note that the previous
sentence identified importance of a combination of other macrometrics
- including GDP size and carbon intensity. The third
sentence of the paragraph (and Fig SPM.3) should be expanded to
encompass all these primary macro factors; or else deleted.
