I was referring to the first survey you posted, Pearly. It is using the I=PAT type of reasoning.

OK, I have reviewed that survey. The only contentious point is carbon gas generation. It assumes some land will be needed to plant a wood to absorb the green house gases your life activity generates.

It is also a massive simplification. Like where does all the raw materials that you use in your life come from. I have a big chunk of African and South American rain forest stored in my basement that I use to make furniture with, so I should know. (I got for bargain basement prices as it was going to be chucked out anyway).

OK, so we lose the forest needed to absorb carbon dioxide that we generate, and that makes the math more compact. No big deal as far as I'm concerned. I do feel a little concerned about Bald Eagle, as climatic change will (is) take(ing) place. Eventually a increase in plankton in the sea will absorb the extra Carbon Dioxide, but the air conditioners will be running at full throttle in Louisiana imho. Also check that your dwelling unit is more then 50 ft above mean sea level. Don't worry about me, the climate here will be one of the last to feel the heat, and I'm 300+ feet above mean sea level. Looking forward to the show in fact, I think I have made a good investment -g-

Truth of the matter is that survey has little to do with I=PAT, and more to do with how earths resources are shared out. I'm only in the top 3% and I'm pi**ed. How come I'm not in the top 0.3%??? It's only my lousy trading skills that are keeping me down -lol-

I'm all for calling a spade "a spade" -g-.
