scientists say Kyoto cuts not enough

So now we have a report confirming what many of us have believed all along - that emissions cuts will not have a significant effect on global warming.

Given the fact that the vast majroity of greenhouse gases (both in volume and potency) are not man-made, this seems seems to be a tacit admission that global warming is largely not a man-caused issue.

So let's say that regardless of the cause we agree that a cooler globe is desirable. That means we need to get to net zero or net negative carbon emissions, or employ other measures.

Is the socio-economic toll of the current approach of emission conservation worthwhile, or should the efforts be put into technologies that can actually have a significant impact on global temperature?
