brief #1 (On why the IPCC summary of a summary is full of crap)
link:
http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/docs/WG1AR ... _05Feb.pdf
SRES- emissions scenarios documented in a previous IPCC special report on emissions scenarios from 2000.
On page 18(last page) are some ... <gulp>,summarys of the scenarios.
At the bottom of the box, is a statement that I shall paraphrase(cant cut and paste):
"None of the SRES scenarios assume implemention of any climate protocols, including the UNFConvention on Climate Change , or Kyoto Treaty."
Without looking into the actual scenarios, yet, we see that they are 7 years old already.
AND what has happened, in reality, for the last 7 years, has no bearing on the current recommendations.
The fact that Kyoto was implemented by many countries around the world, with varying levels of success, means nothing in the new report.
Whatever successful reductions from those nations that were achieved, aren't even counted by the SRES, and should be ignored by policymakers, apparently.
And all those personal sacrifices you may have made, perhaps in compliance with the UN's other climate protocols, dont count.
Throughout the summary, you see it relies heavily on those SRES.
I wonder how much of the beef of the final scientific report, will rely on these silly scenarios.

lol.
What it's saying is that those scenarios do not specifically take into account the specific changes resulting in those treaties being used, but if you read the scenarios you can see that the scenarios are dealing with different approaches. For example scenario A1T is a scenario where we essentially stop using fossil fuels. If the world did that, we'd achieve the Kyoto treaty, and match other international obligations.
