Quite true. Unfortunately, the vast majority is from the wrong places, (sinks). Our challenge is not only to stop using the captured carbon but to also recapture a hell of a lot what has already been released. Not easy with an ever increasing population of blogs wanting more and more of what the world can't provide...
