Yes but if you can't even have some sort of net gain in the man made sector, how will you be able to think next about the other sources? I prefer to isolate what we can control with what we cannot control just for evaluation purposes. That way I can see what effect anything we do can have. Once you know that you can control say 1% of it all, you can easily see what effect you can or cannot have.
