Even worse error of the IPCC AR6 is stating this: ". . . the rapid development of renewable energy technologies and emerging climate policy have made it considerably less likely that emissions could end up as high as RCP8.5..."

What "renewable energy technologies" are those? Renewable still remains the same old hydro for most of it and virtually all of the practical renewables. Resource consumption for wind & solar is so extreme that the more wind solar installed the worse emissions get. Again IPCC ignores the only energy source actually capable of replacing fossil, and that is nuclear energy. For this reason the IPCC is guilty of causing the very thing they claim they want to mitigate. Hypocrites.

No punches thrown Mr Smith. The new ruinables are adding to our grid at a pace that barely meets increasing power demand. No transition here. Giving these bankrupting pseudo technologies a boost with the phrase in question is borderline heretical. Roger, pls try to avoid such support. Hypocrites indeed (excellent point btw)!

Love the reference to 'ruinables'. Not heard that one before. I might use that if you dont mind?👍

That's a commonly used and perfectly accurate term. Also you hear "The Unreliables" used a lot.
