1. Oil & gas companies still expect the world to consume large quantities of oil & gas in 2050. That view would seem to put the oil giants in conflict with the IPCC.

"It's just an element, a tool to explore different trajectories on the basis of the knowledge we have today & to see what ... might encounter."
Both critics & modelers agree such nuance is often lost
BP projected BECCS would reduce emissions by 1.5GtCOโ/yr in 2050.
Equinor didn't even model BECCS because it said the technology's future was too uncertain.
The IPCC sees BECCS capturing 3-7GtCOโ/yr in 2050
The pathways the models produce aren't necessarily the only ones possible. Most of the time, they're just the cheapest.

What is cost-effective? We assume that this means discounting & optimising costs over the 100 years, assuming everything runs perfectly smoothly & everyone behaves, & we know everything (like costs).
The world is not this nice, unfortunately...
They could not model the cost effectiveness of this pathway. Is it cheaper or more expensive than a BECCS pathway? We don't know!

It is hard to trade-off supply-side & demand-side costs. This means we only estimate cost-effective on supply-side.

Is cost-effective, as defined in an IAM, the same as the real-world definition of cost-effective?
This is the question we need to address...

1) Well, also there is this:
For 400 years inflation has NOT been in a "mountain range" of up and down, but rather stair-stepped in giant increases, always associated with major transformations in economic arrangements.

The only way that debt comes down is if rest of world flips to trade deficit status w/US (I.e., trades accumulates $USD from prior trade surpluses w/US for actual goods & services). Not likely anytime soon. $USD as global reserve currency requires massive public debt.
