Very true. I am still waiting for the Delaware temperatures to exceed the summer of 1930, almost half the days had temperatures of over 90 degrees F, and the highest recorded temperature was set during that year as well. After more than 80 years, that record still hasn’t been beat, both for the summer as well as for the single-day temperature. Never mind the fact that people didn’t have A/C during that time. The start of the 20th century was hotter than it is now. Believe it.
6,800,000,000 X 9 = ~61,000,000,000 sq ft.
61,000,000,000 / 43,550(sq ft per acre) = ~1,400,000 acres
1,400,000 / 640(acres per sq mi.) = ~2,200 square miles.
The total area of the state of Delaware is roughly 2,500 square miles. In other words, you could put the entire world's population into the state of Delaware with a little room to spare; maybe for Porta-Potties!
The total area of the earth is ~197,000,000 sq miles; total land area ~57,000,000 sq miles.
2,500 / 197,000,000 = ~.00001 or 1/1000 of 1% of the area of the earth's surface.
2,500 / 57,000,000 = ~.00004 or roughly 4/1000 of 1% of the land area.
And algore's snake oil is that he wants us to believe we puny humans can do ANYTHING with the climate? FAT CHANCE!
