IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
270 seems to compare per capita emissions in developed countries with
an increase in absolute emissions in developing countries. Consider
rephrasing this sentence to read "…, but average per capita
emissions in developing countries will remain substantially lower
than per capita emissions in developed countries."
(Andy Reisinger, TSU IPCC Synthesis Report)
SPM- 2 A 4 4 4 4 specify "substantially" e.g. "three to ten times" or "several times"

2 A 4 4 4 5 This para repeats practice (see comments on para 1) of singling out
only the per capita emission factor for attention of policy makers.
In terms of a policy relevant report, there is no foundation for
narrowing the focus in this way. In the same way proposed for the
treatment of recent historic trends covered in para 1, the discussion
of future trends in para 2 should deal with all the relevant macro
factors dealt with in para 1.

2 A 4 4 4 5 “……. will remain substantially higher...” – A range could be given
by what magnitude, to highlight the large inequities.
(Government of India)
3 A 4 8 0 0 We propose that the acronym "SRES" is explained may be in a
footnote - possibly also with some explanation regarding the use of
these scenarios in the rest of the SPM.
(Government of Norwegian Pollution Control Authority)
2 A 4 5 4 5 Paragraph notes that two thirds of increase in emissions to 2030
will come from developing countries, but notes per capita
emissions in developed countries will remain higher – should add a
breakdown of percentage of total global emissions from developed
and developing countries, not just per capita figures.
(Government of Australia)
2 A 4 5 4 5 Insert ", than in Developing Countries" to make the meaning of the
last phrase of the sentence clearer.
(Government of Australia)
SPM-46 2 B 4 5 4 5 The concerns should be about the growth of emissions globally, not
about whether some country or region has more or less emissions
