One of the bigger gaps was not identifying the source of the problem, which is the use of fossil fuels. As I said, that was in some way rectified last year in the UAE when we started to focus on that. That goes across many areas but also includes military use. I do not have the figures globally but I recall that in the US, the military would probably be the largest consumer of fossil fuels.
