News Release
27th September 2013
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published the first installment of its latest climate change Assessment Report, AR5, the final paragraph of its Summary for Policymakers – a bullet point referring to proposals for deliberately altering climate systems – has caused consternation by addressing the controversial topic of geoengineering. (1)While the paragraph does not endorse geoengineering, as had been proposed by Russia, its very presence is ringing alarm bells.
“It’s the paragraph that should never have been,” explained Neth Daño, ETC Group’s Asia Director.” The explicit purpose of Working Group I [WGI] is to report on the latest climate science, not to discuss response measures. The report doesn’t discuss solar power or electric cars; it doesn’t discuss public transport, carbon markets or any other actual or potential policy response to the climate crisis, so why have the authors chosen to devote the concluding paragraph to this highly speculative and dangerous technofix?”
