THE MATH IN TERMS OF FOREST AREA

THERE ARE 8.7E9 HECTARES OF LAND ON EARTH WHERE TREES CAN BE GROWN.

BUT ONLY 5.5E9 HECTARES HAVE TREES.

OF THAT 5.5E9 HECTARES, 5.26E8 HECTARES ARE IN THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST

THIS MEANS THAT THE AMAZON RAIN FOREST CONTAINS 9.56% OF THE WORLD’S FORESTS

THIS MEANS THAT NOT TAKING THE OCEAN INTO ACCOUNT THE LUNGS OF THE EARTH CARRIES OUT 9.56% OF THE WORLD’S PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

THE OCEAN CARRIES OUT 50% TO 80% OF THE WORLD’S PHOTOSYNTHESIS OR 65% ON AVERAGE.

THEREFORE, THE AMAZON LUNGS OF THE EARTH CARRIES OUT 9.56% of 35% or 3.35% OF THE WORLD’S PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

THE MATH IN TERM OF THE NUMBER OF TREES

THERE ARE 39E10 TREES IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST LUNGS OF THE EARTH

THERE ARE 880E10 TREES IN THE WORLD

THEREFORE, THE AMAZON RAINFOREST CONTAINS 39/880 OR 4.43% OF THE WORLD’S TREES.

THEREFORE, WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF OCEAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS THE AMAZON LUNGS OF THE EARTH CARRIES OUT 4.43% OF THE WORLD’S LAND PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

WHEN WE TAKE THE OCEAN INTO ACCOUNT, THE AMAZON LUNGS OF THE EARTH CARRIES OUT 1.55% OF THE WORLD’S PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

CONCLUSION:

THE REAL LUNGS OF THE EARTH IS THE OCEAN BUT SUCH IS THE ECO WACKO ACTIVISM OF ENVRONMENTALISM TEACHERS, THAT MANY OF THEIR STUDENTS ARE READY TO GO TO WAR WITH BRAZIL TO SAVE THE PLANET.

BOTTOM LINE: #1: MOST OF THE WORLD’S PHOTOSYNTHESIS IS IN THE OCEAN SO FRETTING ABOUT LAND PHOTOSYNTHESIS AS A WAY TO CONTROL HUMAN CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING DOES NOT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE ISSUE IN HUMAN CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING IS FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS WITH CARBON MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD THAT DOES NOT BELONG IN THE CURRENT ACCOUNT OF THE CARBON CYCLE. THE CLIMATE ACTION SOUGHT BY CLIMATE SCIENCE IS THAT HUMANS MUST STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. THERE IS NO ROLE HERE FOR CARBON CYCLE INTERVENTIONS.

THE CARBON CYCLE INTERVENTION PROPOSITION THAT CONTINUED FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS CAN BE COMPENSATED BY CARBON CYCLE INTERVENTIONS IS INCONSISTENT WITH CLIMATE SCIENCE AND INCONSISTENT WITH THE DATA AS SEEN IN THE RELATED POSTS LINKED BELOW.
