Geek sqaure footage can estimate ANY two deminsional field.
-
I got a reply:
Thank you for contacting us about our Forests campaign - it's great to have your support!
Sadly, it is true. In fact, its a conservative estimate. A football field every two seconds adds up to 7.8 million hectares a year, but forest loss is actually estimated at 13 million hectares a year. So in reality its more than one football field every two seconds.
I hope this information is helpful.
Thank you again for supporting our work. -
Slim T you must have been way out with your maths, its 7.8 million hectares a year not 15 million a day
-
Idk...sq footage in a football field, times seconds in a day, eqauls 6 over six billion....at that rate, we should have no forest in two days. Do the math yourself if yu dont believe me.
Every source ive gone to will give about 77k sq ft for a football field. And you can work out 86k seconds per 24 hrs yourself.
Someone correct me if im wrong, but the eqaution IS as simple as seconds times area divided by two right?
Im thinking that football pitches must must be massively smaller wherever these people came from.
8 mil forest loss per year is reasonable. But 77k sq ft every two seconds? What the f--- -
Man.......ill go talk to my friend mohazzabi at the University. Brilliant guy. If he doesnt know what i did wrong, than its probably right
-
But then again, theres 30 someodd billion seconds per year, if we lost as little one sq ft every other second we woul have had no forest by 2007. So what the hell is going on
-
I dont get it...i cant be wrong, no matter how bad my math may be i cam multiply by one and divide by 2

Broke down and did a little research. You can read it if you want, its pretty comprehensive. -
Calm down and go see your friend mohazzbi at the library

XD
You put spaces in that just to be awkward, you're a senior so you can post links
What are you doing to me I don't want to read a huge essay about rainforests, how is it relevant? -

He was going on about the maths then posted a random link about rainforests, the conversation had all evolved onto the figures.

... what sort of person goes on the internet when they're on the toilet. You do have something better to do and you should focus on doing it. Weird person, I strongly dislike you.
