IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Se<strong>co</strong>nd Order Draft<br />

A 3 1 3 2<br />

is 20% of world population as explained on page 1.<br />

(Rachel Warren, University of East Anglia)<br />

Figure <strong>SPM</strong>.2 is unclear. It's not clear what y-axis scale is, a line<br />

graph showing each <strong>co</strong>ntribution as a function of year might be<br />

easier to read. Also clarify what purchasing power parity means in a<br />

note.<br />

(Government of UK)<br />

A 3 1 3 1 figure <strong>SPM</strong>.2, <strong>co</strong>mment: very unclear, suggest to redesign, see<br />

Annex NL-1; also suggest to change the naming of the factors<br />

"CO2/energy" to "shift to lower carbon fuels", "energy/GDP(PPP)"<br />

to "energy intensity improvement", "POP" to "population growth",<br />

and "GDP(PPP)/POP" to "wealth growth"; yet another better<br />

presentation can be found in the Climate Policy Evaluation<br />

Memorandum 2005, p. 32, available from<br />

%20to%20Kyoto.pdf<br />

(Government of The Netherlands)<br />

A 3 1 3 15 Figure <strong>SPM</strong> 2 is particularly difficult to understand and may be<br />

<strong>co</strong>nfusing to the broader readership of the <strong>SPM</strong>. The authors should<br />

<strong>co</strong>nsider if the information can be more clearly presented in a<br />

different format (such as a table).<br />

(Government of Australia)<br />

A 3 2 3 2 The main point of this figure and description is lost due to the<br />

overuse of acronyms. Energy intensity of the e<strong>co</strong>nomy should be<br />

written as "Energy/GDP" instead of "Energy/GDP(PPP)" because<br />

for non e<strong>co</strong>nomists PPP is difficult <strong>co</strong>ncept to understand although<br />

intensity is <strong>co</strong>mputed using GDP (PPP). However, in the footnote<br />

this can be explained. Ac<strong>co</strong>rdingly, line 9 which says "GDP (PPP)<br />

is gross domestic product at .... " can be eliminated.<br />

(Government of Environment Canada)<br />

A 3 3 0 10 In Figure <strong>SPM</strong>.2, the unit of vertical axis in not clear. This shows<br />

the annual change of CO2 emissions or total emission change for<br />

each period?<br />
