Hello Richard, thank you for reading the report and making comments. This is the draft and it is being opened up for a 45 day public comment period at US federal docket DOE-HQ-2025-0207. I will ensure your comments here are dealt with carefully, but if you could submit them to the public docket then our responses and the resulting revisions to the report will form part of the public record. In particular, i am interested in your views on what climate policies (out of the many currently in place) are justifiable if ECS is below 2.0 or 2.3. I have seen very little literature addressing that but you may know of more.

Yes, I will submit comments. Above is just the first draft. You can expect a lot. 15,000 pages?

There is some work on optimal climate policy with low ECS, but not a lot.

OK I'll watch for them. If you can keep them to 10,000 pages that would help.

Hi Ross -- where's the comments submission page? First order casual googling shows up this

https://www.regulations.gov/docket/DOE-HQ-2025-0207

but a) it is closed and b) it offers no obvious way of seeing what comments have been made
