IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Se<strong>co</strong>nd Order Draft<br />
energy-efficient investments as a general rule. The chapter also<br />
needs to state the fact that when <strong>co</strong>st-efficient investments are not<br />
made, this might very well be because they do not meet the internal<br />
hurdle rate of the <strong>co</strong>mpany. If these investments in <strong>co</strong>st-efficient<br />
energy savings etc. were made, they would push aside better, more<br />
profitable and more innovative investments made by the <strong>co</strong>mpany.<br />
The risk would be a distortionary impact on the <strong>co</strong>mpany with less<br />
innovation taking place in the <strong>co</strong>mpany.<br />

<strong>SPM</strong>-17 9 A 0 0 0 0 The <strong>SPM</strong> needs in general to be looked through to avoid<br />
generalisations which are building on cases and examples claiming<br />
that CEOs miss <strong>co</strong>st-efficient opportunities of energy-saving or<br />
energy-efficient investments as a general rule. The chapter also<br />
needs to state the fact that when <strong>co</strong>st-efficient investments are not<br />
made, this might very well be because they do not meet the internal<br />
hurdle rate of the <strong>co</strong>mpany. If these investments in <strong>co</strong>st-efficient<br />
energy savings etc. were made, they would push aside better, more<br />
profitable and more innovative investments made by the <strong>co</strong>mpany.<br />

<strong>SPM</strong>-18 0 A 0 0 0 0 It is vital that any assumptions and uncertainties in the data given<br />
on <strong>co</strong>sts and benefits of climate change mitigation policies are<br />
properly quantified within the <strong>SPM</strong>.<br />

<strong>SPM</strong>-19 0 A 0 0 0 0 In a busy world, the <strong>co</strong>ntent, presentation and message(s) <strong>co</strong>nveyed<br />
by the <strong>SPM</strong> will have to largely stand for the effect of the entire<br />
report on the vast majority of (not just) the ordinary public but--experience<br />
tends (unfortunately) to show---the vast majority of<br />
policymakers also. For the vast majority of people, this effect will<br />
be both amplified and pre-empted by media selection of material<br />
from the <strong>SPM</strong> for the maximum news effect. Every word, every<br />
statement and every graph or table should therefore be drafted and<br />
presented with this dynamic in mind, both on a stand-alone basis<br />
