    True, but I think the argument is that if we’re not including natural carbon sources, we shouldn’t be including natural carbon sinks either. If we’re counting old growth forests left alone as part of a carbon credit, they it follows that we should include forest fires as a carbon debit. That or leave both off the table and just look at artificial sources and sinks for net emissions.
