<span style="font-size:12.0pt">2. Carbon Brief provides an in-depth summary of the mitigation report’s conclusions and main findings organized around 17 questions. Skimming Carbon Brief’s summary is as close as I will come to reading the report, which runs
almost 3000 pages. If you would like a demonstration of how handy the summary is, try the text on number 6 of the 17 questions: What impact can the food system and dietary choices have on emissions? Links take you back and forth from the list of questions
to the discussions. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-the-ipccs-sixth-assessment-on-how-to-tackle-climate-change?utm_campaign=Marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Revue%20newsletter">https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-the-ipccs-sixth-assessment-on-how-to-tackle-climate-change?utm_campaign=Marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Revue%20newsletter</a><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">4. The emphasis in the IPCC mitigation report on capturing carbon from fossil fuels came mostly from Saudi Arabia. CCS from the exhaust stream of fossil fuel plants has proved a failure both financially and technically. The EU
protested Saudi Arabia’s dilution of the report, but the US was silent. (We need to develop kelp permaculture and biochar lobbies—but of course no one is making a bundle on those CCS technologies, so their voices are hard to hear.)
