Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias

A Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias is a technology forecasting bias that systematically overpredicts green technology advancements and deployment timelines.

• AKA: Green Tech Optimism Bias, Clean Energy Overestimation, Climate Innovation Bias, Environmental Technology Optimism.
• Context:
  • It can typically manifest in climate technology progress overestimation bias forecasts about renewable energy adoption.
  • It can typically affect climate technology progress overestimation bias predictions for carbon capture deployment.
  • It can typically produce climate technology progress overestimation bias errors in emission reduction timelines.
  • It can often stem from climate technology progress overestimation bias causes like policy optimism.
  • It can often impact climate technology progress overestimation bias assessments of technology cost curves.
  • It can often contrast with climate technology progress overestimation bias reality of implementation challenges.
  • It can range from being a Mild Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias to being a Severe Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias, depending on its error magnitude.
  • It can range from being a Specific Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias to being a General Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias, depending on its technology coverage.
  • It can range from being a Short-Term Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias to being a Long-Term Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias, depending on its forecast horizon.
  • It can range from being an Individual Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias to being a Collective Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Bias, depending on its prevalence level.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Energy Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Biases, such as:
    • Solar Adoption Overestimation for grid parity timelines.
    • Battery Technology Overestimation for storage breakthroughs.
    • Fusion Power Timeline Overestimation for commercial deployment.
  • Transportation Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Biases, such as:
    • Electric Vehicle Adoption Overestimation for market penetration.
    • Hydrogen Economy Overestimation for infrastructure deployment.
  • Carbon Climate Technology Progress Overestimation Biases, such as:
    • Carbon Capture Scaling Overestimation for deployment rates.
    • Direct Air Capture Cost Overestimation for economic viability.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • AI Progress Underestimation Bias, which underpredicts different technology.
  • Climate Risk Underestimation, which affects impact assessment.
  • Realistic Climate Technology Assessment, which avoids systematic bias.
