IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
A 2 7 2 7
biomass burning, etc.
(Government of India)
Do 100 year GWPs from the TAR differ much from the SAR?
Where SAR GWPs are used, a footnote should be included to
explain why (i.e., because SAR GWPs are used for reporting to the
UNFCCC). U.S. Government
(Government of U.S. Department of State)
B 2 7 2 7 Note just before caption of Fig SPM.1: GWPs from IPCC 1996 :
why not 2001 or even 2007 when they are available ?. Justifying
the choice of the 1996 guidelines by a reference to UNFCCC
reporting guidelines may not be correct, as I believe the present
SBSTA recommendation is to use the latest GWPs whenever as
possible. It is true that the convention has been taken to stick to the
1996 guidelines for the first KP commitment period (2008-2012),
but this is not relevant here, as the figure shows the trends in global
emissions over 1970-2004.

A 2 9 0 10 Delete or put in brackets the chemical symbols and add: "Only"
gases covered by the Kyoto protocol "are included".
(Government of Sweden)
A 2 9 2 11 It would be helpful if the authors could provide the uncertainty
range for the emissions from deforestation etc. that is mentioned in
the chapeaux to the figure.
(Government of Australia)
B 2 9 2 11 Fig. SPM1 : Please make sure that "4" is printed lower than "CH"
in CH4, Same for the 6 in SF6.. In line 11, the sentence starting
with "Uncertainty" is a bit ambiguous, and probably a comma is
needed after "agriculture"
