ZERO POINT FIVE percent. And I’m supposed to think that’s a problem? 10 million acres out of the nearly 2 billion we have
This comment reminds me of the early naïveté about carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
CO2 increased from 0.03% to 0.04% of atmosphere? ZERO POINT ZERO ONE percent. And I’m supposed to think that’s a problem?

- HyperSane 4y agoThat is actually a 33% increase. Which is very significant. And the rate we are emitting it is increasing.
- emj 4y agoIsn't that the point: if 3% is used for urban development then another 0.5% is going to be very noticeable in cities.
