The hierarchy is clear: 75–85% of emission reductions through 2050 come from using less fossil fuel.
CCS plays a role, but it is strictly secondary, contributing a median of just 15–25%.
Technological neutrality is a political concept, not a scientific one.

I could be wrong but I don't think IAMC has issued such a statement before, so I read it also as a sign of dissatisfaction with established routes such as the IPCC or EU projects policy briefs, where they are very well-represented: even those who are audible don't feel listened to anymore.
