....the conceptualization of the ecosystem...is fundamentally similar to the economic production and distribution in macro-economics...and the latter is the theoretical foundation of the unholy alliance between government and industry... W

Yes, exactly. You've got it! So the radicalization is to use the former to disect the latter and see how we are feeding the natural carbon cycle! Please go back to the first post and go read the modelling paper on the carbon cycle. You will see or figure out the detailed connections between the two systems. For example the processing of limestone---something I never would have thought of as a CO2 producer---there is a short hand chemical formula put together in that paper that discusses limestone's role in the natural carbon cycle. The connection comes, when you realize limestone processing is a key industry for construction,i.e u recall the burning of limestone is a key process in the production of cement and concrete.

Anyway we are on the same side of this. I would never bother with one point solutions. The whole to learning the details of the carbon cycle is to see multiple connections and multiple solutions.
