The impact of human activity on the environment:
I = P × A × T
The expression equates human impact on the environment to a function of three factors: population (P), affluence / consumption (A) and technology (T).
- thriftwy 3y agoMy point is that the metric totally ignores P. An austere country of 100 million people on a tiny plot of land is seen as more acceptable than a few million people on a huge area. This promotes wrong answers.
